Triglyceride to HDL Ratio Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Triglyceride to HDL Ratio (THDL) is:

\[ THDL = \frac{T}{HDL} \]

Where:

\(THDL\) is the Triglyceride to HDL Ratio
\(T\) is the total triglyceride levels (mg/dL)
\(HDL\) is the total HDL levels (mg/dL)

What is the Triglyceride to HDL Ratio?

The Triglyceride to HDL Ratio is a measure used to assess cardiovascular health. It is calculated by dividing the total triglyceride levels by the HDL levels. A lower ratio is generally considered better for heart health.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Triglyceride Levels (T) = 150 mg/dL
Total HDL Levels (HDL) = 50 mg/dL

Using the formula:

\[ THDL = \frac{150}{50} = 3 \]

The Triglyceride to HDL Ratio is 3.
