Heart-healthy lipid profile benefits brain health in adolescents, study finds

The findings are significant because brain development during adolescence is rapid, and protecting it from an early age is critical for lifelong brain health. Preventing lipid metabolism dysfunction from childhood may support not only cardiovascular health, but also healthy brain development.
