A member asked:
Cholesterol/hdl ratio 3.5 is that ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Please provide more information. Your HDL (good cholesterol) and total cholesterol are 2 factors in a number of other details needed to determine your overall risk. For example, your age, blood pressure, LDL (bad cholesterol), smoking history and if you have diabetes are other important factors to know before this question can be answered fairly.
