Practice Question

Which of the following is the healthiest ratio of triglycerides __________.

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

High HDL: low LDL

Rationale:

◆ HDL (high-density lipoprotein) is considered “good cholesterol” because it helps transport cholesterol away from arteries to the liver for excretion.

◆ LDL (low-density lipoprotein), by contrast, is “bad cholesterol” since it deposits cholesterol in arterial walls, contributing to atherosclerosis.

◆ A ratio of high HDL and low LDL is healthiest because it lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease and improves lipid balance.

◆ Triglyceride management is closely tied to maintaining these healthy lipoprotein ratios.

◆ The best and healthiest ratio is high HDL to low LDL.
