High levels of cholesterol in middle-age are associated with an increased risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease more than a decade later, new research suggests.
High levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were linked to an increased risk of developing the conditions.
While elevated levels of total cholesterol were also associated with an increased risk, this link was weaker, suggesting it is largely driven by LDL cholesterol, researchers say.
The study provides the strongest evidence so far on the relationship between blood cholesterol and dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. It was led by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) with the University of Tsukuba, Japan and OXON Epidemiology, London and Madrid.
