How to practice Cholesterol and Vascular Health Management
Screen lipids and inflammatory markers (LDL, ApoB, hs-CRP) starting by midlife. Target LDL <70 mg/dL for high-risk individuals. Combine medication with Mediterranean-style diet, exercise, and smoking cessation. Coordinate with cardiology or preventive medicine to sustain vascular and cognitive health.
The evidence behind Cholesterol and Vascular Health Management
High LDL-C/ApoB and vascular inflammation accelerate small-vessel disease and dementia risk. Lipid-lowering therapy trials consistently reduce stroke and vascular events, with observational studies showing roughly a 20% reduction in dementia risk in the case of statins. Evidence strong for vascular protection, moderate for direct neuroprotection.
