Question

the cardiovascular risk factor calculated by using what formula?
a) total cholesterol/ldl
b) ldl/hdl
c) hdl/total cholesterol
d) total cholesterol/hdl

Explanation:

The cardiovascular risk factor is calculated using the ratio of Total Cholesterol to HDL (High - Density Lipoprotein). HDL is considered "good" cholesterol as it helps remove cholesterol from the arteries, while total cholesterol (a combination of HDL, LDL (Low - Density Lipoprotein), and other lipoproteins) gives an overall picture of cholesterol levels. A higher ratio of total cholesterol to HDL indicates a higher cardiovascular risk.

Answer:

d) Total cholesterol/HDL
