When you get the results of your lipid panel, you need to look at all the numbers to get good picture of your health.

Total cholesterol = LDL + HDL +VLDL

(WHERE VLDL= TRIG/5)

LDL is considered the bad cholesterol and HDL is considered to be the good cholesterol.

Reta

Total Cholesterol --- <200 Desirable, 200-239 Horderline High, >240 High

LDL Cholesterol --- <100-optimal, 100-129 Near Optimal, 130-159 Borderline High, >160 High LDL= CHOL - HDL - VLDL, Where VLDL= TRIG/5 HDL Cholesterol --- <40 High Risk >or= 60 Low Risk CHOL/HDL RATIO ---<4.5 Desirable, 4.5-5.5 Borderline, >5.5 Undesirable VLDL= TRIG/5
