The ratio between your HDL and LDL counts is measured as your “total cholesterol level.” To calculate total cholesterol, subtract your HDL from your LDL, then add one-fifth of your triglyceride level. Triglyceride is a third cholesterol only tangentially related to your heart health. In most cases, your cholesterol test will report this cholesterol as well.
