Heart Health Risk Index - Triglyceride to HDL Ratio

A simple mathematical equation derived from two standard test results: triglycerides (TG) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL), where the TG value is divided by the HDL value. This ratio reflects the relationship between levels of harmful lipids (associated with insulin resistance and small, dense lipid particles) and protective lipids, and is a strong indicator of cardiovascular risk and the development of metabolic syndrome.
