4.2 is the ratio of chol. it equals your total cholesterol divided by the HDL chol. if ur a man that's approx an average risk... and i think 4.2 is average risk range for females as well.
HDL= High Density Lipoprotein (good cholesterol)
It means that your good cholesterol is high, meaning you probably have a great cholesterol profile. It could indicate that you have little atherosclerosis, or cholesterol build-up, in your arteries.Be proud of that reading. =)
HDL Cholesterol stands for "High-density Lipoproteins", which is the `good' cholesterol. A high level of HDL cholesterol in the blood is thought to lower the risk of coronary artery disease.

hdl is your good cholesterol..you want it higher and you want your ldl to be lower
No, HDL is the "good" one, it is high levels of LDL that you want to avoid. High HDL, low LDL is considered the "heat healthy" situation.

The HDL-lipoprotein is the "good cholestrol".HDL is short for "High Density Lipoprotein".
Your cholesterol HDL ratio is calculated by dividing your high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or "good") cholesterol into your total cholesterol. Your doctor can assist you in advising what your optimum HDL ratio should be.
