I work as a health promotion nurse, mainly looking at prevention of CHD. I
take a lot of fasting lipid profiles and am aware of the implications of
raised LDL and low HDL, but our results always provide a total chol:HDL
ratio. I can't seem to find a 'normal' or 'target' level/value for this or
indeed anything to clarify the implications of this - should this be the
'treatable' figure rather than total cholesterol measurement as it is
probably more realistic?
