, older individuals with fluctuating levels of cholesterol and triglycerides may be at a heightened risk of developingdisease and related dementias compared to those with stable levels. It is important to note, however, that while the study identified a correlation, it did not establish that fluctuating levels of cholesterol and triglycerides are a direct cause of dementia.
Researchers used healthcare data to identify 11,571 people aged 60 or older who did not have a prior diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. Researchers looked at participants’ measurements of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol on at least three different days in the five years before the start of the study.
Participants were followed for an average of 13 years. During that time, 2,473 people developed Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia.
