HDL cholesterol, often termed "good" cholesterol, helps remove excess cholesterol from the arteries and transports it to the liver for elimination. In contrast, LDL cholesterol, referred to as "bad" cholesterol, can contribute to the buildup of plaque in the arteries. A higher HDL/LDL cholesterol ratio is generally associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. This ratio is calculated by dividing the HDL cholesterol level by the LDL cholesterol level. Monitoring the HDL/LDL cholesterol ratio helps healthcare professionals assess lipid profiles, make appropriate dietary and lifestyle recommendations, and manage the risk of cardiovascular conditions.
