A measure of cholesterol that is a better surrogate for cardiovascular disease risk than LDL cholesterol alone.

Peter Attia MD
A calculated lipid metric (Total Cholesterol - HDL Cholesterol) used as a marker for assessing potential atherogenic cholesterol.
#21 – Tom Dayspring, M.D., FACP, FNLA – Part II of V: Lipid metrics and cholesterol regulation
Peter Attia MD
A calculated metric that represents the total cholesterol minus HDL cholesterol. It is considered a better correlate with ApoB or LDL particle concentration than LDL cholesterol alone.

Peter Attia MD
Mentioned as a calculation where HDL cholesterol is still used, though its independent measurement is questioned.
