Understanding the Results

The ratio of triglycerides to HDL cholesterol is a measure of cardiovascular health. A higher ratio indicates a greater risk of heart disease. The interpretation provided by the calculator will help you understand your risk based on the calculated ratio.

Formula and Parameters

The calculator uses the following formula:

Ratio = Triglycerides / HDL Cholesterol

Where:

  • Triglycerides: Fatty substances in your blood that can increase your risk of heart disease if present in high levels.
  • HDL Cholesterol: Known as "good" cholesterol, HDL helps remove other forms of cholesterol from your bloodstream, thereby protecting against heart disease.
