Statins 'ineffective for heart disease in elderly'

The study, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, found no benefit among those taking pravastatin in reducing the risk of dying from any cause or of developing coronary heart disease, compared with those receiving normal care.

In fact, more people taking the statin died during the 6-year follow up than those in the other group. Among the 65 to 74 year olds there were 141 deaths in the statin group compared to 130 in those not taking the medication. Among those aged 75 the difference was even more marked, with 92 deaths versus 65.

• 相反這說明高血脂要早期控製。現在的說法是有冠心病的人，要控製LDL低於70。 -yihua- ♀ (212 bytes) () 05/24/2017 postreply 00:17:08

• 這裏說高齡沒有效果，可能的原因是1.開始用藥晚 2.控製標準不夠嚴格 -yihua- ♀ (0 bytes) () 05/24/2017 postreply 07:43:08

• 用藥晚是否說明這些老人的心髒病不是因為膽固醇的原因引起的？ -阿明.- ♀ (80 bytes) () 05/24/2017 postreply 14:59:52
