A study from UT Health San Antonio found that higher levels of small dense LDL cholesterol increase Alzheimer's risk, while higher levels of fat-transport markers like ApoB48 are associated with lower risk, highlighting complex links between blood lipids and dementia.
New research from the Framingham Heart Study shows complex links between blood lipid levels and Alzheimer's risk, with small dense LDL cholesterol increasing risk, while higher ApoB48 and lower HDL cholesterol levels are associated with reduced risk, suggesting blood lipid profiles could help predict and prevent Alzheimer's disease.
A study by researchers at DZNE has found that per- and polyfluorinated alkyl compounds (PFAS) in human blood are associated with unfavorable lipid profiles and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. The study, based on data from over 2,500 adults, revealed that PFAS were detectable in nearly all participants' blood, with younger individuals showing more pronounced negative effects. The findings highlight the need for stricter regulation of PFAS to protect cardiovascular health. The study, published in Exposure and Health, used advanced technology to analyze blood samples and is the most detailed on this topic to date.
Fluctuating levels of cholesterol and triglycerides may increase the risk of developing dementia by 19% and 23% respectively, according to a study. The research suggests that variations in blood lipids could be a potential risk factor for dementia and may provide insights for future screening options and treatments. However, further studies are needed to determine the exact relationship between cholesterol variability and dementia risk, as well as the underlying mechanisms. The findings highlight the importance of monitoring lipid levels and developing prevention strategies for dementia.
