A comprehensive 15-year study reveals that statins, commonly used to manage cholesterol levels, can potentially reduce the risk of developing dementia by up to 15%. The findings indicate that the benefits of these medications are significantly enhanced when they are initiated earlier in life.
As the global population ages, the number of individuals living with dementia is projected to surge to 153 million by 2050. However, researchers assert that nearly half of these dementia cases could be prevented or postponed through appropriate interventions.
