- Abstract
- "Background : The associations of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotypes and cholesterol levels with cognitive decline
in Alzheimer s disease (AD) are controversial. The aim of this study is to investigate the individual and combined
effects of ApoE epsilon 4 allele (ε4) and cholesterol levels on the progression of AD. Methods : ApoE genotypes and
fasting serum total cholesterol levels were measured in 79 patients with AD. The associations were investigated
between ε4, cholesterol level and decline in cognitive function (Korean version of Mini-Mental State Examination)
over one year. Results : No prospective individual and combined associations were found between ε4, cholesterol level
and decline of cognitive function. Adjustment for age, gender, education, and functional activities of daily living made
little difference to the associations. Conclusions : The cognitive decline of AD might be determined by other factors
rather than the impact of ε4 or cholesterol levels.Key Words : Apolipoproteins E, Cholesterol, Alzheimer disease, Cognitive decline"
