Statins lower heart attack and stroke risk after 70
A new study has revealed that taking cholesterol-lowering medications called statins for individuals over 70 who are in good health can reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke by 30%, without increasing serious side effects. The study involved approximately 10,000 participants who had no previous history of heart disease, and its results showed that statins effectively decrease cardiovascular risks in this age group, paving the way for updated medical treatment guidelines to enhance prevention. Additionally, the study found that these drugs do not increase the likelihood of dementia, reinforcing their safety for use among the elderly.
