Your 25 year old patient returns with his blood test results. TC= 195 mg/dl, HDL= 42 mg/dl, LDL= 156 mg/dl and TG= 98 mg/dl. According to these values, you calculate their TC/HDL ratio= 4.6 and their LDL/HDL risk ratio= 3.7. He is wondering what his TC/HDL ratio means for his health. Your answer: "Your total cholesterol to HDL ratio suggests that you have no risk of cardiovascular disease" O "Your total cholesterol to HDL ratio suggests that you have about double the average risk of cardiovascular disease" O "Your total cholesterol to HDL ratio suggests that you have about half the average risk of cardiovascular disease" O "Your total cholesterol to HDL ratio suggests that you have about an average risk of cardiovascular disease"
