What backs it

A study presented at ESC Congress 2026 and published in The Lancet Regional Health – Europe found that starting statins early after a type 2 diabetes diagnosis was associated with lower dementia risk.

Worth noting

Association does not establish causation; further research is needed to understand whether statins directly prevent dementia in this population.
