Mendelian randomization of dyslipidemia on cognitive impairment among older Americans

2020-10-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Altered lipid metabolism may be a risk factor for dementia, and blood cholesterol level has a strong genetic component. We tested the hypothesis that dyslipidemia (either low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) or high total cholesterol) is associated with cognitive status and domains, and assessed inferred causality using genetic predisposition to dyslipidemia as an instrume...
