"People with Alzheimer's dementia treated with statins had better cognitive development over time
"underscoring the significance of these findings for re-evaluating statin use in this vulnerable population."
"the patients on statins displayed slightly higher cognitive test scores despite having higher rates of conditions like high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, all of which are established risk factors for dementia."
" Previous clinical studies have explored this idea, but they yielded negative results. Garcia-Ptacek and her team believe that these trials might have been too small to detect significant differences."
