Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eating more trans fats can increase the LDL/HDL ratio, as trans fats can increase LDL levels and decrease HDL levels, which increases the risk of a myocardial infarction. Stopping smoking, exercising more, and taking statin drugs can all help decrease LDL levels and increase HDL levels, thus decreasing the LDL/HDL ratio and reducing the risk of a myocardial infarction.
