Calculation Formula

VLDL = Triglycerides / 5

Where:
VLDL = Very Low Density Lipoprotein cholesterol level (mg/dL)
Triglycerides = Triglyceride level (mg/dL)

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter your triglyceride level in mg/dL in the input field.
  2. Click the "Calculate" button to compute your VLDL level.
  3. Your VLDL level will be displayed in the result field.

Understanding VLDL Cholesterol

Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) is a type of lipoprotein that transports triglycerides from the liver to other tissues in the body. High levels of VLDL can contribute to high blood triglyceride levels and may increase the risk of heart disease.

Interpreting Results

A normal VLDL level is typically less than 30 mg/dL. Levels above this can indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
