Total cholesterol/HDL ratio-

Normal range for Total Cholesterol/HDL Ratio?

The number should be under 4.0 to 1 for best results. Also as important, you HDL/LDL ration should be under .3 for the lowest risk.

Sorry, your HDL/LDL ration should be ABOVE .30, not below.................

But obviously the actual lipid count is just as important if not more important. If you have very high LDL and a good HDL ratio, you still have much more LDL in your system which causes a higher risk for forming plaque.

Less than 4.  The lower the total cholesterol and the higher the HDL the better.
