FAQ

Why is Non-HDL cholesterol preferred in metabolic risk assessment?
Non-HDL cholesterol (Total Cholesterol minus HDL) measures all atherogenic particles (LDL, VLDL, IDL) and is often a better predictor of cardiovascular events than LDL alone, especially when triglycerides are elevated.
What is a healthy Triglyceride-to-HDL ratio?
An ideal Triglyceride/HDL ratio (in mg/dL) is 2.0 or lower. Ratios above 4.0 strongly correlate with small dense LDL particles and insulin resistance.
Should risk scores replace medical consultation?
No. Risk calculators like Framingham and QRISK3 provide statistical risk estimates for population groups. Treatment decisions regarding statins or lifestyle modifications should always be made with a medical doctor.
