The subjects are now an average of 70 years old.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrevious studies on this topic have been inconclusive and this study is especially informative because of the large number of participants and long follow-up,\u201d study author Maria Glymour <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aan.com\/PressRoom\/Home\/PressRelease\/5117\">said in a statement<\/a>. \u201cThis information allowed us to study the links with dementia across the range of cholesterol levels and achieve precise estimates even for people with cholesterol levels that are quite high or quite low.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>During the course of the study, about 25,000 people developed dementia.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>People with the highest levels of HDL cholesterol had a 15 percent higher rate of dementia compared to those in the middle group, the study found. Those with the lowest levels had a 7 percent higher rate of dementia compared to those in the middle group.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The recommended \u201chealthy\u201d HDL amount is 40 mg\/dL in blood. Study subjects\u2019 average was about 54 mg\/dL.<\/p>\n<p>The study also tracked LDL cholesterol, dubbed \u201cbad cholesterol,\u201d but found that it did not significantly impact dementia rates.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cThe elevation in dementia risk with both high and low levels of HDL cholesterol was unexpected, but these increases are small, and their clinical significance is uncertain,\u201d Glymour said. \u201cIn contrast, we found no association between LDL cholesterol and dementia risk in the overall study cohort. Our results add to evidence that HDL cholesterol has similarly complex associations with dementia as with heart disease and cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The study released Wednesday follows the results of another released in July which found that having cholesterol levels which fluctuate over time may also increase dementia risk. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/n.neurology.org\/content\/101\/11\/e1127\">That study<\/a>, also published in Neurology, found that people whose cholesterol levels fluctuate the most are at about 19 percent higher risk of dementia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
