Juneteenth was made a Texas state holiday in 1980, and in 1997, Congress recognized June 19 as âJuneteenth Independence Day,â after pressure from a collection of groups like the National Association of Juneteenth Lineage and National Juneteenth Celebration Foundation.
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.
These guidelines can be used to determine healthy cholesterol ratios as well. For example, a patient with total cholesterol number 200, LDL number 100, and HDL number 60 has a Total/HDL cholesterol ratio of 200/60 and an LDL/HDL ratio of 100/60. This gives an optimal Total/HDL ratio of about 3.3:1 and an optimal LDL/HDL ratio of about 1.7:1.
