Statins in the ElderlyPosted by drmishner in statins and elderly , muscle pain |

Doctors and patients often wonder if there's an age at which statin benefits are outweighed by risks, such as muscle pain or drug interactions. But cholesterol is still an important modifiable risk factor...even in patients over 80. Each 40 mg/dL drop in LDL lowers CV risk by about 20% over one year...REGARDLESS of age.
