People whose genes make them more likely to have certain kinds of high cholesterol and high blood pressure are at a higher risk for Alzheimer’s disease, according to a new study.
May 18, 2023 –
The study was considered large in size and included data for 39,106 people with Alzheimer’s and another 401,577 people who did not and who were used for comparison in the analysis. The DNA used in the study came from the European Alzheimer & Dementia Biobank, which includes data from people in 11 European countries. The authors said that the lack of diversity in ancestry among people in the study limited the findings.
Previous research has linked cholesterol and blood pressure levels to Alzheimer’s risk with mixed results, the study authors noted. “Overall, I would say it does offer some support for the fact that a lower blood pressure may be good. And the fact that higher HDL, it’s raising some concern about dementia, but there are many explanations for this,” Sudha Seshadri, MD, a neurology professor at the UT Health Science Center in San Antonio, told CNN.
