Cholesterol Ratio Calculator
Enter your lipid panel values (Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides) to instantly calculate cardiovascular risk ratios with colour-coded risk classification. All values in mg/dL. Free, private, no uploads.
Key Capabilities
Which cholesterol ratio is most important?
The Total Cholesterol to HDL ratio is considered the strongest predictor of cardiovascular risk. An optimal ratio is below 3.5. The Triglyceride to HDL ratio is a useful marker for insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome — a ratio above 3.0 is associated with increased risk.
What is a good HDL cholesterol level?
HDL (high-density lipoprotein) is protective — higher is better. Levels above 60 mg/dL are considered cardioprotective. Levels below 40 mg/dL in men or below 50 mg/dL in women are a cardiovascular risk factor.
What is the difference between LDL and HDL?
LDL (low-density lipoprotein) carries cholesterol to the arteries where it can build up as plaque — sometimes called 'bad cholesterol'. HDL (high-density lipoprotein) carries cholesterol back to the liver for removal — sometimes called 'good cholesterol'.
