what is the formula for calculating hdl?

To calculate your cholesterol ratio, divide your total cholesterol number by your HDL cholesterol number. So if your total cholesterol is 200 mg/dL (5.2 mmol/L) and your HDL is 50 mg/dL (1.3 mmol/L), your ratio would be 4-to-1.

The equation is: LDL cholesterol (mg/dL) = total cholesterol – HDL cholesterol – (triglycerides/5), where “triglycerides/5” is used to represent very low density lipoprotein-C (VLDL-C).

Multiply the grams of saturated fat by 9 = (xx) the number of saturated fat calories in the food item. b. Divide (xx) the number of saturated fat calories in the food item by the total number of calories in the food item = % of saturated fat.

LDL cholesterol levels should be less than 100 mg/dL. Levels of 100 to 129 mg/dL are acceptable for people with no health issues but may be of more concern for those with heart disease or heart disease risk factors. A reading of 130 to 159 mg/dL is borderline high and 160 to 189 mg/dL is high.

0 g of cholesterol. 2 milligrams (mg) of sodium. 21.65 g of total carbohydrate (including 16 grams of sugar and 2.3 grams of fiber) 0.89 g of protein.

Within each diet, sodium intake did not significantly affect serum total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, or triglycerides. On the control diet, the ratio of total cholesterol-to-HDL cholesterol increased by 2% from 4.53 on higher sodium to 4.63 on lower sodium intake (P=0.04).

HDL and LDL are two types of lipoproteins. They are a combination of fat (lipid) and protein. The lipids need to be attached to the proteins so they can move through the blood.

Your LDL cholesterol number is: Optimal if it is less than 100. Near optimal/above optimal if it is 100-129. Borderline high if it is 130-159.

['For women, BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years).', 'For men, BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years).']

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is known as the "good" cholesterol because it helps remove other forms of cholesterol from your bloodstream. Higher levels of HDL cholesterol are associated with a lower risk of heart disease.

Measure density by dividing the mass or weight of a sample by its volume. Written out, the formula for calculating density is: D = M/V, where D = density (g/mL), M = mass (g), and V = volume (mL).

Multiply the grams of saturated fat by 9 = (xx) the number of saturated fat calories in the food item. b. Divide (xx) the number of saturated fat calories in the food item by the total number of calories in the food item = % of saturated fat. 1) Fat – 3 x 9 = 27 fat calories; 27/90 = 30% total fat.

There are two types: high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). As a general rule, HDL is considered “good” cholesterol, while LDL is considered “bad.” This is because HDL carries cholesterol to your liver, where it can be removed from your bloodstream before it builds up in your arteries.

A review of several studies on zinc and cholesterol levels suggests that supplementing with more than 50 mg of zinc per day may lower your “good” HDL levels and not have any effect on your “bad” LDL cholesterol ( 11 , 12 , 13 ).

HDL participates in reverse cholesterol transport, which is the transport of cholesterol back to the liver. HDL picks up cholesterol from tissues/blood vessels and returns it to the liver itself or transfers it to other lipoproteins returning to the liver.

The test includes four basic parameters: total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. It is usually done in fasting blood specimen. Fasting refers to 12–14 h overnight complete dietary restriction with the exception of water and medication.
