I learned today that the parade that day by WSU was the Juneteenth Parade. That the men and women so selflessly stopped to allow our funeral procession to move past has remained in our family's hearts and minds all these years.
Your cholesterol ratio is calculated by dividing your total cholesterol by your HDL number. For instance, if your total cholesterol is 180 and your HDL is 82, your cholesterol ratio is 2.2.
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.
