While it may not make sense to boost HDL levels to try to prevent Alzheimer\u2019s disease just yet, Launer and other experts note that higher levels of HDL have clearly been shown to protect the heart, so for that reason alone, they think it\u2019s smart to keep good cholesterol in mind at every checkup.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tell everybody, let\u2019s face it, you can lower your risk of heart disease,\u201d says Peter Davies, PhD, director of the Litwin Zucker Research Center for the Study of Alzheimer\u2019s Disease at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in Manhasset, N.Y. \u201cIf you get your cholesterol under control, with lifestyle modifications and maybe medication, you can reduce your risk of heart disease and I think probably, if you do that, you\u2019ll reduce your risk of Alzheimer\u2019s, too.\u201d<\/p>
