Triglycerides contribute up to 95% of dietary fats, which are the main energy source of the brain. (pathological tests consider <150 mg/dL as healthy or normal) this study says higher levels have decreased risk of developing dementia. But, a limitation of the study was researchers looked only at people 65 and older who had no cognitive issues initially, so the findings are not generalizable to other populations.
