Statins and the Risk of Dementia
Lancet 356:1627-1631, Jick,H.,et al, 2000
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Individuals of 50 years and older who were prescribed statins had a substantially lowered risk of developing dementia, independent of the presence or absence of untreated hyperlipidaemia, or exposure to nonstatin LLAs. The available data do not distinguish between Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
