Serum cholesterol and incident Alzheimer's disease: findings from the adult changes in thought study.
The purpose of this prospective population-based cohort study was to evaluate associations between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) and non-HDL-C levels at specific ages and subsequent Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. The investigators concluded that people with low (120 mg/dL) and high (210 mg/dL) non-HDL-C levels during their 60s and 70s had modestly higher risk of AD than those with intermediate (160 mg/dL) levels.
