Thank you Sir for all your efforts looking out for your fellow humans and their welfare , it comes from a good place , long may you continue , there are many , many more silent appreciative people like myself i believe.
At 80 with no cardiovascular events. Unless AFib counts as one I'll pass on statins. I took one several years ago. Virtually no good. So at 80 I'm eating well. We'll see what happens
Vinay, I am 78 and a retired physician. Nevertheless, I am an informed and generally good patient. I take 5 mg of rosuvastatin on alternate days. I had a mildly elevated serum cholesterol and it has normalized nicely. I have never perceived side effects.
Beware ageism. Biden was a victim of this with respect to prostate screening and now may be dying with so far unreported suffering of metastatic cancer. There is a tendency to believe that society should not burden older people with medical care. I ride a recumbent bike 14 miles most mornings and have just finished writing my first book.
I agree with you that this study was poorly designed but the premise of the study was flawed, in my humble but informed opinion.
most studies like this justo the MDs etc can get published.A study of 35 inch waistlines tells us 70% of the US population is done for so who cares. It is too late. And the two more ou of 10 have CKM. We blew it.
It’s ludicrous that so much money has been made providing so many people so little benefit.

You are totally wrong here, and I will explain why on This Fortnite in Medicine on 8/26/26.
I just cringe every time I hear of a 75+ yr old being told they "now" need a statin b/c the LDL is too high. Total insanity!!!
no
Agreed, terrible design. Who funded this rubbish?

What if you are 70 and have never had a MI event? Asking for a friend.
