HDL cholesterol, an ally for memory
A new study published by the Archana Singh-Manoux team from the Inserm group 687 “Public health and Epidemiology of Professional and Social Determinants in Health” shows that weak concentrations of HDL or “good” cholesterol in the blood are associated with a cognitive deficit and decline around age 60. Their work is published in the June 30, 2008, issue of Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology : Journal of the American Heart Association.
