- Formula: TG/HDL ratio = Triglycerides ÷ HDL cholesterol (mg/dL)
- Input definitions: • Triglycerides: the numeric triglycerides used in the calculation • HDL cholesterol: the numeric hdl cholesterol used in the calculation
- Manual method: write down each input, apply the formula step by step, then compare your manual result with the calculator output.
- Enter values using the units shown next to each input field (e.g. kg, cm, years).
- This calculator uses widely accepted health formulas and returns screening estimates only. It does not replace a diagnosis from a qualified healthcare professional.
- Compare your result with published reference ranges. Values outside the normal range warrant a conversation with your doctor.
- Practical tip: test a low, medium, and high scenario to understand sensitivity before making decisions.
Example Calculation
Inputs
- Triglycerides: 150 mg/dL
- HDL cholesterol: 50 mg/dL
Suppose you enter: Triglycerides = 150, HDL cholesterol = 50. The calculator applies the formula (TG/HDL ratio = Triglycerides ÷ HDL cholesterol (mg/dL)) and shows all output values below. Change any input field to immediately see how the result changes.
