PHILADELPHIA, July 20 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Higher levels of "good" cholesterol in middle age may help preserve brain function in later years, according to research reported today at The 9th International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders (ICAD), presented by the Alzheimer's Association. In addition, preliminary evidence was presented suggesting that some hypertension and diabetes medications might lower the risk and impact of Alzheimer's. And, a study showed that cardiovascular risk factors are associated with cognitive decline. These studies add to mounting evidence that some of the health factors that contribute to cardiovascular disease -- and resultant strokes and heart attacks -- also increase the risk of Alzheimer's.

Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, and Charlene Sims knows all too well how easily she could have been another statistic.
