From the article:
While acknowledging the study’s limitations, Dr. Li said it was an important beginning. “This is the first time we have linked brain changes to statin use,”

20% of statin users are subject to recurring bouts of what is called "pseudo arthritis". This appears to be a consequence of their immuno-suppresive qualities ~ they can stop your T-cells from producing a normal level of IgA autoantibodies.

Pseudarthritis is frequently a consequence of an IgA reduction through the use of several of the more common anti-AIDs drugs (where the idea is to eliminate T-cells and their products that seem to favor AIDS virus reproduction).

"Still, Dr. Li continued, "Statins don't just lower cholesterol, but have other effects that are not well understood."

Note that this has no effect on their being prescribed.

This sort of report makes me wonder, “Should I, at age 39, consider statins (and/or the emerging HDL-raising drugs) BEFORE my blood vessels get closer to being clogged?? Or are the side-effects of long term use too much?”

On the other hand, the statin drugs wreck your liver.

Statin drugs are one of the biggest scams every foisted upon the public by Big Pharma.
