On Wednesday, March 23, 2022, Dr. Lindsay Farrer<\/a> interviewed with Sandee LaMotte from CNN<\/span>, and discussed about the recent study published in Alzheimer’s and Dementia:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>The<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association,\u00a0<\/span>Farmingham Heart Study<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Dr.“What’s unique about the study is the large sample of individuals that<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>are examined every four years or so, starting at age 35, and followed into the age when an Alzheimer’s diagnosis may occur,” Farrer said.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Study, People 35 to 50 could lower their Alzheimer’s risk by 15.4% if they raised their high-density lipoprotein, or HDL, by 15<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>milligrams per deciliter. People between the ages of 51 and 60 who raised their HDL reduced their risk by 17.9%.<\/span><\/p>\n
