A triglyceride to HDL ratio is a calculation that can help determine your risk of heart disease and other health conditions: |
Calculation |
Divide your triglyceride level by your HDL level. For example, if your triglyceride level is 200 and your HDL is 55, your ratio is 3.6. |
Interpretation |
A lower ratio is generally better. A ratio of 2.0 or less is considered ideal, while a ratio of 4.0 to 6.0 is considered good. A ratio of 2 or higher is associated with a higher risk of heart disease and metabolic syndrome. |
What it indicates |
A low ratio can indicate good insulin sensitivity and a lower risk of developing diabetes and metabolic syndrome. It can also mean that you have a less harmful type of LDL cholesterol, which can reduce your risk of coronary heart disease. A high ratio can indicate insulin resistance, meaning that too much glucose is remaining in your blood. |
The triglyceride to HDL ratio is a strong indicator of lifestyle factors and can help determine if your metabolism protects against heart problems. |
刷紅的地方貌似打錯了?
按這個算法,我目前的指標是1.58,所以不再糾結LDL偏高的事了,把關注點轉移到甘油三酯:)
