concluded that statin use reduced the risk of Alzheimer Disease and Dementia.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

Statin users in general demonstrated 14% reduction in overall dementia risk, 18% and 11% reduction in Alzheimer Disease and Vascular Dementia risk, respectively.
Statin use was associated with a significant reduction in risk of dementia, including Alzheimer’s
In a pooled analysis, these drugs, known as statins were associated with a decreased risk of dementia.
there's not any evidence that is shown at at least from the cumulative statin trials or so but are there certain individuals where that is
at least at the time and I don't think this has changed there has been not been any Statin trial where the primary outcome was dementia uh the primary trial is always cardiovascular disease but there have been more than a dozen such trials where the secondary outcomes are dementia it's worth noting that in every one of those trials regardless of Statin used there has either been no change in the risk of Dementia or a reduction in the risk of dementia
there are more than a dozen probably less than 25 so a big number of studies call it 15 16 that have used Statin have had a primary outcome of ascvd but a secondary outcome of Dementia or Alzheimer's disease and I looked at every single one of those and I can tell you that every single one of those found neutral to benefit of Statin use on the incidents of dementia and and the incidents of um Alzheimer's disease
