To convert mg/dL cholesterol to mmol/L, multiply mg/dL by 0.026. To convert mmol/L cholesterol to mg/dL, multiply mmol/L by 38.6. Cholesterol of 170 mg/dL=4.40 mmol/L.

Calculated with log-transformed variables.

To convert mg/dL triglyceride to mmol/L, multiply mg/dL by 0.0113. To convert mmol/L triglyceride to mg/dL, multiply mmol/L by 88.6. Triglyceride of 75 mg/dL=0.85 mmol/L.
