To calculate your cholesterol ratio, divide your high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or good) cholesterol number into your total cholesterol number. An optimal ratio is less than 3.5-to-1. A higher ratio means a higher risk of heart disease. Non-HDL cholesterol, as its name implies, simply subtracts your HDL cholesterol number from your total cholesterol number. So it contains all the bad types of cholesterol.
If lipid values are expressed as mmol/L (like in Canada and Europe); TG/HDL-C ratio less than 0.87 is ideal TG/HDL-C ratio above 1.74 is too high TG/HDL-C ratio above 2.62 is much too high. For years, measurements of blood cholesterol have been used to assess the risk of heart disease. We have been intensively educated about the role of LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) , commonly nicknamed the bad cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) , often called the good cholesterol.
