Question: Chol/hdl ratio test was 4!.4 i am 52 type 2 diabetic what does this mean and should i worry!?
Answers:
The total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol ratio is a number that is helpful in predicting an individual's risk of developing atherosclerosis!. The number is obtained by dividing the total cholesterol value by the value of the HDL cholesterol!. (High ratios indicate higher risks of heart attacks, low ratios indicate lower risk)!.
High total cholesterol and low HDL cholesterol increases the ratio, and is undesirable!. Conversely, high HDL cholesterol and low total cholesterol lowers the ratio, and is desirable!.
An average ratio would be about 4!.5!. Ideally we want to be better than average if we can!. Thus the best ratio would be 2 or 3, or less than 4!.
