[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1470714, member: 94045"] Those two links are to American sites. They are using different measurement units (mg/dl). In the UK the trig/HDL ratio should ideally be under 0.87mmol/l [URL]http://www.docsopinion.com/2014/07/17/triglyceride-hdl-ratio/[/URL] [I]However, when looking at the ideal ratio, you have to check if your lipid values are provided in mg/dl like in the US or mmol/L like in Australia, Canada, and most European countries. If lipid values are expressed as mg/dl (like in the US); TG/HDL-C ratio less than 2 is ideal TG/HDL-C ratio above 4 is too high TG/HDL-C ratio above 6 is much too high If you live outside the US or are using mmol/L, you have to multiply this ratio by 0.4366 to attain the correct reference values. You can also multiply your ratio by 2.3 and use the reference values above. If lipid values are expressed as mmol/L (like in Australia, Canada, and Europe); TG/HDL-C ratio less than 0.87 is ideal TG/HDL-C ratio above 1.74 is too high[/I] [I]TG/HDL-C ratio above 2.62 is much too high[/I] [/QUOTE]
