Triglycerides and Cognition

Although there is an extensive literature on variable associations of different lipids with different health outcomes, dyslipidemia is more commonly viewed as a single entity. The literature on associations between dementia and lipids has been to a certain degree conflicting.1 U-shaped relations with dementia have been reported for low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein, and total cholesterol by some studies2 while all positive, neutral, and negative associations with triglycerides (TGs) have been noted by other studies.3
