for Cholesterol, LDL, HDL
Cholesterol is measured using different numbers in the U.S and in most of the rest of the world. In the U.S is is reported in deciliters per milligram (dl/mg), but elsewhere it is reported in millimoles per liter (mm/l). :

mg/dl = milligrams per deciliter mm/l = millimoles per liter
The conversion factor for triglycerides is different from cholesterol.
To convert triglycerides, divide or multiply by by 88.5 / 0.0113.
3. Risk Factor Ratio
Risk Factor Ratio is usually the total cholesterol divided by the HDL. This ratio, according to your age and sex, can give an indication of the risk of dying from heart disease.
