When you get your cholesterol checked, one of the numbers will be a cholesterol/HDL ratio. That number is your total cholesterol divided by yourhigh-density lipoprotein(HDL), also known as "good cholesterol." Healthcare providers usually consider a normal ratio to be below 5:1. A very good...
Epidemiological evidence suggests that the ratio HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C)/total cholesterol (TC) or apolipoprotein A1 (apo A1)/apolipoprotein B (apo B) are good indicators of coronary heart disease risk. In investigating the distribution of these ratios in the typical population served by our routi...
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...
LDL-cholesterol versus non-HDL-to-HDL-cholesterol ratio and risk for coronary heart disease in type 2 diabetes. We assessed the association between different blood lipid measures and risk of fatal/nonfatal coronary heart disease (CHD), which has been less analysed pr... Eliasson,Gudbj?rnsdotti...
Background: Total cholesterol (TC)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)/HDL-C ratios are used to predict ischemic heart disease risk. There is, however, no consensus on which of these 2 indices is superior. The objective of the present...
LDL subfractions and atherogenicity: An hypothesis from the University of Glasgow On the other hand, statins have a therapeutic effect on lipid metabolism and inflammation. They lower total and LDLcholesterol (LDL-c), elevate HDL-c,... CJ Packard - 《Current Medical Research & Opinion》 被引...
Results are presented here on the relationship, in a large city in the Federal Republic of Germany, between HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) or the HDL-cholesterol/total cholesterol ratio (HDL-C/TC) and the variables smoking, alcohol consumption, Body Mass Index (BMI), and age. The strength of eac...
In the first 3M period, HDL-C declined by 33 mg/dl from an initial value of 52.5<12.1mg/dl, but total cholesterol (TC) fell by 25 mg/dl from 221.8<44.6 mg/dl, so that the TC:HDL-C ratio, which may be a better index of CHD risk than HDL-C alone, dropped from 42 to 4.0 ...
AIMS. The total cholesterol (TC)/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio may carry additional information not available in more commonly used single cholesterol measures. Analysis of discordance between lipid parameters might help assess the impact of such additional information on the risk of...
