Abstract

INTRODUCTION: There is conflicting evidence whether high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia. Genetic variation in the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (

METHODS: Ten single nucleotide polymorphisms within the

RESULTS: Based on 10 single nucleotide polymorphisms distinctly predicting HDL-C in the

DISCUSSION: Our study does not support the role of HDL-C on risk of AD through HDL-C altered by
