Updated Cholesterol Ratio Calculator

Image
One of the more popular calculations on my website has absolutely nothing to do with mortgages or taxes , but with something that effects everybody -- blood cholesterol levels and ratios. My original cholesterol calculator just calculated the missing factor of HDL, LDL, Triglycerides and total cholesterol and calculated a few ratios. Then I created a second version that used the more internationally accepted SI units used around the world (and the corresponding ratios.) Now someone e-mailed me asking for an updated version that did not force the calculation of a missing variable and used LDL over HDL (instead of HDL over LDL), so I thought that would be yet another new version of my cholesterol ratio calculator. So now you must enter all 4 values and it will calculate the ratios and tell you how your numbers and ratios follow the desired guidelines for blood cholesterol numbers. Thank you, Dr. Tim!
