People can calculate their triglyceride HDL ratio by dividing their triglycerides by their HDL level. This is not a common measurement method, but it can help determine a person’s risk of heart disease. For example, 200 (triglyceride level) ÷ 55 (HDL) = 3.6 (triglyceride HDL ratio). Heal...
Looking at the ratio between total cholesterol and “good” cholesterol is another way to look at cholesterol levels. You want the “good” to be a higher amount of the total. You should try to keep your cholesterol ratio below 5, but lower numbers are even better. Cholesterol/HDL ratio f...
High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are made up of a higher level of protein and a lower level of cholesterol. These tend to be thought of as “good” cholesterol. The higher the HDL to LDL ratio, the better it is for the individual because such ratios can potentially be protective against h...
HDL cholesterolBackground: Triglycerides (TG)/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio is a marker of small/dense low-density lipoprotein particles, which are closely associated with various metabolic and vascular diseases. However, the role of TG/HDL cholesterol ratio in cerebrovascular ...

Evaluating the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol (TC:HDL) helps evaluate risk of atherosclerosis, arterial stiffness, and cardiovascular disease. If total cholesterol is relatively high compared to HDL-cholesterol, then the benefits of HDL are reduced and risk of atherosclerosis and therefo...

They concluded that "these data indicate that the consumption of a high-cholesterol diet does not negatively influence the atherogenicity of the LDL particle." A similar study in Mexico found that "Intake of 2 eggs/d results in the maintenance of LDL:HDL and in the generation of a less ...
