LDL/HDL Ratio

The LDL/HDL ratio is a measure that compares the levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in the blood. LDL is often referred to as "bad" cholesterol because high levels can lead to plaque buildup in arteries, increasing cardiovascular risk. HDL, or "good" cholesterol, helps remove LDL from arteries, reducing this risk. Maintaining a favorable LDL/HDL ratio is important for cardiovascular health. Lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and possibly medication under medical guidance can help manage cholesterol levels and improve this ratio, reducing the risk of heart disease over time.
