Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP)
Atherogenic index of plasma (Dobiasova 2001) = log10(triglycerides / HDL), both in mmol/L; higher values reflect greater cardiovascular risk.
Open the calculator → Runs in your browser. Data leaves only if you deliberately send a problem report from the interactive tool.
Example
- Triglycerides
- 1.7 mmol/L
- HDL cholesterol
- 1.0 mmol/L
Result: Atherogenic index of plasma 0.23 — high cardiovascular risk (> 0.21).
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- < 0.11
- Low cardiovascular risk.
- 0.11-0.21
- Intermediate.
- > 0.21
- High cardiovascular risk (log10(TG/HDL), mmol/L; correlates with small dense LDL). A lipid index, not a diagnosis.
What you enter
- Triglycerides
- HDL cholesterol
