Atherogenic Coefficient Calculator

This calculator estimates the atherogenic potential of lipoproteins in the blood based on cholesterol levels.

Input Parameters

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

AC = [Total Cholesterol - HDL Cholesterol - (Triglycerides / 5)]

Where:
- AC: Atherogenic Coefficient
- Total Cholesterol: Total cholesterol level in blood
- HDL Cholesterol: High-density lipoprotein cholesterol ("good" cholesterol)
- Triglycerides: Fatty substances in the blood

Your Result

Atherogenic Coefficient (AC): --
Interpretation: --

Atherogenic Coefficient Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Atherogenic Coefficient Calculator and understand its significance in cardiovascular health

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter your Total Cholesterol level in mg/dL (e.g., 200)
  2. Enter your HDL Cholesterol level in mg/dL (e.g., 50)
  3. Enter your Triglycerides level in mg/dL (e.g., 150)
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute your Atherogenic Coefficient
  5. Review the result and interpretation to understand your cardiovascular risk

What is the Atherogenic Coefficient?

The Atherogenic Coefficient (AC) is a measure that estimates the atherogenic potential of blood lipoproteins. It helps identify individuals at higher risk for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.

Interpreting Your Results

  • Normal (AC ≤ 2): Indicates a low risk of atherosclerosis
  • Borderline (2 < AC ≤ 4): Suggests moderate risk and may warrant attention to dietary and lifestyle factors
  • Elevated (AC > 4): Indicates a high risk of cardiovascular disease and should be discussed with a healthcare provider

Important Notes

This calculator provides an estimate of atherogenic potential based on lipid profiles. It is not a diagnostic tool and should not replace professional medical advice. Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized health recommendations and interpretation of your results.
