The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says up to 29% of all adults in the United States, or about 70 million people, have high cholesterol. In addition to lifestyle changes around diet and exercise, prescription statin drugs can help control high cholesterol, which is liked to cardiovascular disease. Now, a new study reveals older adults benefit from statins at least as much as young people in reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart disease. According to UPI, researchers say that for every 80 people age 80 to 100 who take statins, one heart attack will be prevented. In contrast, three times that number of people between ages 50 and 59 would need to take the drugs to prevent one heart attack. Similarly, a second analysis shows statins reduce the risk for heart attack and stroke in people over 75 by 26% for every one-point reduction in LDL cholesterol.

Madrid, Oct 7 (EFE).- (Camera: Ángel Herrera/Juan Yagüe) Spanish actor Antonio Banderas on Thursday denied rumors that he is playing the villain in the the fifth installment of ‘Indiana Jones’, filming for which is due to begin in the coming weeks.“I don't play the bad guy -- many people think I am the villain, but I am not the villain, I’m a very good guy. Actually I die for him, for the man,” Banderas said with a smile, perhaps revealing a spoiler to eager Indiana Jones fans.Banderas, who has starred in a wide range of movies both in Spain and abroad, is probably best known for his starring role in The Mask of Zorro (1998) and more recently as the voice of Puss in Boots in the Shrek series of animated films.He described working with the likes of directors Steven Spielberg, James Mangold and actor Harrison Ford as a “pleasure”.“It’s like a gift,” he said.Banderas was speaking at the presentation in Madrid of “A Chorus Line”, a musical he co-directs with US actress Baayork Lee.The play was delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic, and Banderas is eager to “recover the spaces that were stolen from us” now that restrictions are being lifted and productions -- as well as audiences -- are allowed in theaters once again."The whole of society is returning to the stages. We are back," said Banderas, who revealed that there were plans to take the musical to Broadway, until the pandemic hit.His busy schedule that does not allow the lengthy commitment required for Broadway productions has forced Banderas to move the play to the smaller Public Theater in New York for the first time since 1975, which the Spanish actor said “would be very emotional.” SOUNDBITE FROM ANTONIO BANDERAS AT THE PRESENTATION IN MADRID OF “A CHORUS LINE”, A MUSICAL HE CO-DIRECTS WITH US ACTRESS BAAYORK LEE

A new study says better heart health in middle age may help reduce a person's risk significantly for dementia later in life. Researchers at Sweden's Karolinska Institute studied 1,449 Finns enrolled in the Finnish Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Aging, and Dementia study. Adults with 'ideal' results on several cardiovascular health metrics were found to be 86% less likely to be diagnosed with dementia than those with lower scores. According to UPI, the metrics considered included smoking history, engagement in physical activity, body weight, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure. The findings suggest that maintaining lifelong heart health by not smoking, exercising regularly, and staying slim may reduce dementia risk later in life.
