Interpretation
It's important to note that these interpretations provide a general guideline. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional who can evaluate your complete lipid profile and provide personalized recommendations.
- Ratio between 0.5 and 2: Optimal
This range is generally considered optimal and suggests a healthy lipid profile with a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases. - Ratio between 2.1 and 3.0: Elevated, Indicates Early Insulin Resistance
This range suggests a moderate risk for cardiovascular issues. A ratio closer to 1 is preferable. - Ratio above 3.0: High, Indicates Significant Insulin Resistance
This range may indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and metabolic abnormalities, often associated with insulin resistance.
