Posted on: Thursday, November 14th, 2024
Sudha Seshadri, MD, the founding director of the Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer’s and Neurodegenerative Diseases at UT Health San Antonio, is quoted in a story by American Heart Association News featured in the San Antonio Express-News. The article discusses an Australian study that links fluctuating cholesterol levels in older adults to an increased risk of dementia. Dr. Seshadri points out that while the observational study found a connection between cholesterol fluctuations and dementia, it could not establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship between the two conditions.
