The objective of the study was to analyze the relationship between cholesterol levels and all-cause mortality. The study included 4,521 men and women aged 65-84 with almost 3 years of follow up.
The study found that those with the lowest cholesterol levels had an increased death rate of 47% compared to those with the highest cholesterol levels.
