Reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels has consistently demonstrated a reduced risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). There is extensive evidence from randomized trials that demonstrates the effectiveness of lipid-lowering agents in reducing ASCVD-related events.

In middle-aged people, having risk factors like blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol that are not well-controlled combined with not following certain healthy habits including exercise, diet and sleep, are linked to a higher risk of stroke, dementia or depression later in life, according to a new study.

I am going to start with the answer to the question of whether statins cause dementia and then provide the details backing up my answer. Statins do not cause dementia. But if you are someone who thinks that statins do cause dementia and you need to see the evidence to refute that claim, then read on. The answer is: No.

Objectives Elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) increases the risk of recurrent cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. We examined use of lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) following ischaemic stroke, and estimated benefits from guideline-based up-titration of LLT. and women (coefficient –5.1 to –0.9)

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP320-AWP320, February 1, 2024. At 10 weeks after the onset of diabetes, control and diabetic rats received cholesterol crystal ME (40-70 μm) injections and were monitored for 16 weeks. Diabetes doubles the risk of VCID but the underlying reasons remain unclear.

Cardiovascular disease, cancer and dementia account for 60% of all deaths in the US. For those in the ‘Ideal’ category, they were 51% less likely to have either dementia or depression. And less diabetes means less of a driver of the three main leading causes of death - cardiovascular disease, cancer and dementia.

What is a normal cholesterol? It usually takes many years of being exposed to an uncontrolled risk factor such as high blood pressure, high LDL cholesterol or diabetes. For those who have optimised their cardiovascular risk, their future risk of dementia and many cancers is also likely to reduce. What kind of diet should I eat?
