❤️🔥
Enter triglycerides and HDL from your lipid panel.
Formula
AIP = log₁₀(Triglycerides ÷ HDL)
- Triglycerides (mg/dL) — Fasting triglyceride level
- HDL (mg/dL) — High-density lipoprotein
Example: TG 150, HDL 50 → AIP = log₁₀(3.0) ≈ 0.48 (high risk)
Interpreting Your Result
< 0.0
Low risk
Protective lipid profile
0.0–0.24
Intermediate risk
Moderate cardiovascular risk
≥ 0.24
High risk
Elevated plaque buildup risk
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is AIP better than just cholesterol?
AIP captures the balance between harmful (triglycerides) and protective (HDL) lipids, predicting small dense LDL count better than total LDL alone.
How do I improve my AIP?
Reduce refined carbs, sugar, and alcohol (which raise triglycerides). Increase HDL through exercise, omega-3s, and healthy fats.
