In the elderly high cholesterol seems to be protective stated Dr Harlan Krumholz and coworkers at the Yale University Department of Cardiovascular Medicine. Nine hundred ninety-seven people were followed over a 4 year period. Twice as many individuals had a heart attack or died with CHD who had low cholesterol compared to those who had the highest cholesterol.
