Your LDL alone does not say how much it matters. Divided by your HDL it says a great deal more, because HDL is the counterweight.
| Result | Band |
|---|---|
| Under 2.0 | Optimal |
| 2.0 to 3.0 | Moderate |
| Above 3.0 | High |
Ratio bands as used in standard lipid reporting; thresholds vary slightly between laboratories.
BloodMarker reads your whole panel and tells you what the lines say together, which is the part no single calculation can do.

Under 2.0 is generally considered optimal. Between 2.0 and 3.0 is moderate, and above 3.0 is high.
It carries more information than LDL alone because it accounts for the protective HDL fraction, but neither number is meaningful without the rest of the panel and your own risk factors.
