Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that high LDL cholesterol in midlife increases the risk of developing dementia later in life?

Yes. A large cohort of 1.8 million people found midlife LDL cholesterol modestly associated with dementia risk more than ten years later, and a Kaiser Permanente cohort reported that high midlife cholesterol raised Alzheimer's and vascular dementia risk three decades later.
