What does your LIPID PROFILE mean to you?

▶️ Total Cholesterol, as the name suggests, is a sum of HDL, LDL & VLDL
This value is not relevant
▶️ HDL or High density Lipoprotein helps transport cholesterol from the bloodstream & the tissues to the liver.
This is highly relevant.
For men, it should be minimum 40 & for women 50. Higher the value the better.
▶️ Triglyceride is not cholesterol, it is a type of fat in blood.Higher the value, more Cardiovascular risk.it should be less than 100.
▶️ VLDL or Very low density Lipoprotein is a type of Lipoprotein that carries Triglycerides.
Ideally, less than 20.
▶️ LDL or low density lipoprotein carries cholesterol to the tissues.

The absolute numbers matters less. What matters more is the LDL particle size.
- Particle A large particles are generally harmless.
- Particle B small dense LDL particles are potentially dangerous.
proxy marker to estimate whether you have more pattern A or pattern B type of LDL is using the Triglyceride/HDL ratio.
Higher the ratio (>2), suggests high no of Pattern B LDL particles which is high risk of disease
This ratio is not a fool proof indicator, but a useful one.
