A study presented at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions found that older adults with fluctuating blood cholesterol levels were more likely to develop dementia and cognitive decline.

While the study did not prove a direct cause-and-effect relationship, it suggested that cholesterol variability could potentially impact brain function and serve as an early indicator of dementia risk.
