1 Total Cholesterol/HDL: this ratio is determined when you divide total cholesterol into the HDL cholesterol in the body. 2  For instance, if an individual has total cholesterol of 240 mg/dl and HDL cholesterol of 30 mg/dl, then the Total/HDL ratio gives 8:1. 3  The ideal ratio for the body should be 3.5:1 or below.
Total Cholesterol/HDL Ratio The ratio of total cholesterol to HDL is considered the best indicator for heart disease risk. Since HDL protects the heart and vessels, increasing the HDL level may be as important as decreasing the total cholesterol. A person with a ratio of 3.4 for men, or 3.3 for women, has half the average risk of heart disease. A person with a ratio of 24 for men, or 11 for women, has three times the average risk.
