Up to half of
clinicians favor the use of statins for treating patients at risk for
developing
cognitive impairment and dementia due to vascular risk
factors according to a new study published
in the Journal of
Neurological Sciences (March 2005; 229-230: 147-150). Such factors are detailed
from time
