Associations between statin use and dementiahave also been an ongoing concern. Thus far, evidence has not conclusively demonstrated whether the drugs are beneficial, harmful, or have no effect on dementia risk. A recentconference presentationat the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Annu...
It's not clear exactly how statins work to decrease the development of dementia. An emerging risk factor for dementia is high insulin, Haan said, and one theory is that statins may work on those insulin pathways in a way that lowers the high insulin levels in the brain that can lead to...
