Fluctuating LDL and total cholesterol levels in older adults may indicate increased dementia and cognitive decline risk. Higher cholesterol variability correlates with a greater incidence of dementia and cognitive decline in older adults.

Seniors whose cholesterol levels spike and plummet year-to-year could be at increased risk of dementia and failing brain health, a new study suggests.

Tracking lipid variability may be a reliable method of predicting dementia and cognitive decline among community-dwelling older adults, according to new research from Neurology.“Dementia and cognitive decline are major health issues disproportionately affecting older adults and have an insidious onset,

Could changes in cholesterol be a warning sign of dementia? A new study suggests that older adults whose cholesterol fluctuates significantly over time are more likely to develop dementia than those with stable levels.

A new study reveals that seniors with fluctuating cholesterol levels face a 60 per cent higher risk of dementia and a 23 per cent increased risk of mild cognitive impairment. Researchers suggest that monitoring cholesterol variability could help identify people at risk.

Older adults whose cholesterol changes over time may be more likely to develop dementia than people whose cholesterol is stable, regardless of the actual cholesterol level, according to a study published in the January 29,
