Women taking statins for high cholesterol had a 15 percent lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease while men had a 12 percent lower risk, research from scientists at the University of Southern California found.Statins reduce so-called bad cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, known as LDL, by inhibiting the body's ability to produce it.Julie Zissimopoulos of the Schaeffer Center for Health Policy and Economics, and colleagues examined the Medicare records of nearly 400,000 statins users from 2006 to 2013.The study, however, did not take into account statin use before the patients went on Medicare.

By Randy DotingaHealthDay ReporterMONDAY, Dec. 12, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- Could cholesterol-fighting statins fend off Alzheimer's disease?A new, large study suggests that if they do have that power, it may depend on the specific statin, and the gender and race or ethnicity of the person taking it.For example, black men appeared to gain no benefit from taking any statin, while white women may lower their risk regardless of which statin they take, the researchers said.The findings don't prove that statins reduce the chances of developing Alzheimer's.
