Prevention of Alzheimer Disease in people with Down syndrome: do statins have a role?

Dr Brian Chocoine, Medical Director of the Adult Down Sndrome Clinic in Chicago, and co-author of both Mental Wellness in Adults with Down Syndrome and The Guide to Good Health for Teens & Adults with Down Syndrome, provides advice about the use of a particular group of medications (statins) to prevent Alzheimer's disease in people with Down syndrome in this post on the Adult Down Syndrome Clinic's Facebook page, on 28th July. It considers experience and research in people with and without Down syndrome, and what has been learned from people with Down syndrome attending the clinic.
