Total Cholesterol : HDL Ratio Blood Tests

The Total Cholesterol : HDL Ratio test measures the ratio between total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in the blood. This ratio is used to assess the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, such as heart disease and stroke.

In general, a higher ratio indicates a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, as it suggests higher levels of total cholesterol relative to HDL cholesterol. However, the interpretation of the ratio may vary depending on the individual's gender.
