- Statin Adverse Effects: Abstract and Introduction
- Statin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: a 2005 trial showed that patients taking statins for over 5 years reduced their risk of colorectal cancer by 50%; this effect was not exhibited by fibrates. The trialists warn that the number needed to treat would approximate 5000, making statins unlikely tools for primary prevention.[19 ] However, in a recent meta-analysis of 23 statin treatment arms with 309,506 person-years of follow-up, there was an inverse relationship between achieved LDL-cholestero l levels and rates of newly diagnosed cancer that the authors claim requires further investigation / In 2008 the JUPITER study was halted early due to statistically significant event benefit in the statin treated group. This randomized placebo-contro lled international study involved about 18,000 individuals with normal cholesterol and no history of heart disease, but with elevated C-reactive protein levels. Investigators found reductions in non-fatal strokes, non-fatal heart attacks and in the amounts of vascular surgeries in the statin
- statins reduce mortality rates: mean age at death among statin users was 2 years older than among nonstatin users, despite statin users being at a higher risk of death (due to other conditions).
- Pravastatin: NO: Pravastatin, a statin drug used to reduce cholesterol, does not reduce the death rate or incidence of coronary heart disease events in patients with moderately high cholesterol and well-controlle d high blood pressure, when compared to usual care, according to researchers in Texas and Washington.
- statins & prevention: secondary YES, primary NO: statin treatment reduces the relative risk of occurrence of coronary events, cardiovascular disease mortality, non-fatal strokes and all-cause mortality. While secondary prevention with statins provides considerable improvement of cardiovascular morbidity/mort ality, primary prevention with statins provides only small and clinically hardly relevant improvement of cardiovascular morbidity/mort ality.
