Evaluation of all these studies indicated that statin-associated cognitive decline is a real entity. Likely mechanisms to explain the adverse effects include 1. Reduction of synthesis of coenzyme Q10 with consequent increasing oxidative stress and reduction of cerebral energy production; 2. Depletion of central nervous system myelin by inhibition of cholesterol synthesis. We conclude that statin-induced cognitive decline does exist, needs to be better recognized and requires more studies of prevention and treatment. https://www.tandfonline.com//full/10/17512433.2019.1606711
