Careful: Insurance ≠: health. APOE4 =1 of multiple issues. Common larger issues: NMR-lipoproteins (see https://goo.gl/Pqh6vp), HbA1c & ↑ed BP = primary drivers of arterial-disease, strokes & dementia. Optimize LDL: <400 nmol/L & Large-HDL: >9 umol/L, HbA1c <5.0% & Systolic BP <120 mmHg. Keep up with work of Jason Gestwicki & Leah Makley (https://www.ucsf.edu) on neurodegenerative diseases with dysfunctional proteins.
