Introduction
Also see Statins & the risk of dementia
Notes
- one popular theory is that statins enhance alpha-secretase activity[12]
- 2009 prospective study suggests statins reduce risk of Alzheimer's disease[13]
- simvastatin of no benefit[14]
- data NOT supportive of benefit
- neither simvastatin nor pravastatin of benefit in preventing dementia among patients with vascular disease or risk factors for vascular disease[15]
