What is Triglyceride to HDL Ratio?

The triglyceride to HDL ratio is a measure used to assess the risk of heart disease. A higher ratio indicates a higher risk, while a lower ratio suggests a lower risk[^1^][^2^].

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ R = \frac{150}{50} = 3.00 \]

The triglyceride to HDL ratio is 3.00.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ R = \frac{100}{40} = 2.50 \]

The triglyceride to HDL ratio is 2.50.
