Lower LDL of ‘Critical Importance’ in Reducing Dementia Risk

A new study by Kim, published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, demonstrates low LDL-C levels — specifically below 70 mg/dL — are linked to a significantly reduced risk of both all-cause dementia and Alzheimer’s disease-related dementia (ADRD).

We used to think it was cholesterol overall that mattered most — but this research shows that tracking and managing your LDL specifically can play a crucial role in protecting your brain health.
