How It Calculates
The calculator uses the Friedewald equation to estimate LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol:
LDL = Total Cholesterol - HDL - (Triglycerides / 5). This value provides an estimate of your LDL cholesterol level.
Limitations
Note that the calculation is an estimate and may not be accurate for individuals with triglycerides levels above 400 mg/dL or less than 100 mg/dL. Always consult with a healthcare provider for precise measurements and advice.
