Statins 'may ease risk of dementia' - Telegraph
Extract:
"Taking cheap drugs designed to lower cholesterol could reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's by 80 per cent, scientists say today.
Three million patients at risk of developing heart disease are already prescribed statins.
An American study found that patients on cholesterol-lowering drugs had fewer signs of Alzheimer's.
Doctors are excited that statins, which cost as little as 60p a day, could reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's by as much as four-fifths."
