Statins Can Reduce Dementia Risk by Up To 15%, Long-term Study Suggests

THE GUARDIAN: The cholesterol-busting drugs are more effective the earlier in life they are taken, 15-year research project indicates

Statins can lower the risk of dementia by 15%, and the earlier in life they are taken the higher the chances of avoiding the disease, a 15-year study suggests.

The number of people living with dementia globally is forecast to nearly triple to 153 million by 2050. But experts believe almost half of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed.

Now research presented in Munich at the world’s largest heart conference suggests that the cholesterol-busting drugs could dramatically reduce the risk of people developing dementia.

In the largest study of its kind, more than 132,000 people in Denmark were tracked by researchers between 2006 and 2021. » | Andrew Gregory | Health editor in Munich | Sunday, August 30, 2026

If you believe this BULLSHIT, you’ll believe ANYTHING! First question: Who paid for this study? ALWAYS follow the money!

Statins: Heart Disease Drug Speeds Up Ageing Process, Warns New Research

SUNDAY EXPRESS: STATINS make regular users become older faster, leaving them open to long-term mental and physical decline, according to disturbing new research.

Scientists have found the heart disease drug badly affects our stem cells, the internal medical system which repairs damage to our bodies and protects us from muscle and joint pain as well as memory loss.
