Abstract

Objective:

The current study assessed the effects of statin and CoQ₁₀ supplement use on changes in cognitive functioning in the Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer’s Prevention study.

Methods:

1,573 subjects were administered medical histories, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT), Wechsler Memory Scale, Logical Memory subtest, and the Trail Making Test, Parts A (TMT-A) and B (TMT-B) 3-4 times over 5-10 years.

Results:

Linear mixed models did not yield significant effects for statin or CoQ₁₀ supplement use on changes in mental status, learning and memory, psychomotor speed, and cognitive flexibility.

Conclusions:

Statin and/or CoQ₁₀ supplement use was not associated with neuropsychological test performance in the Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer’s Prevention study.
