A recent study suggests that people in their 30s and 40s with high levels of cholesterol and blood sugar are at a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's later in life.

We have shown for the first time that the associations between cholesterol and glucose levels... , Lindsay Farrer, chief of biomedical genetics at Boston University, via CNN.
...and the future risk of Alzheimer's disease extend much earlier in life than previously thought, Lindsay Farrer, chief of biomedical genetics at Boston University, via CNN.
Researchers found that those
aged 35 to 50 with heightened
triglyceride levels...
... and decreased levels of lipoprotein,
or "good cholesterol," had a greater chance of developing Alzheimer's decades later.
... High triglycerides in early adulthood may trigger a cascade of metabolic events that over time initiate processes
that directly lead to
Alzheimer's disease. , Lindsay Farrer, chief of biomedical genetics at Boston University, via CNN.
