A preliminary study involving 1,880 people aged 70 and older who had never had a heart attack or stroke found that stopping statins was not associated with a significant increase in heart attacks, strokes, or deaths over roughly two years. However, after four years, these events had occurred in 12.7% of those who stopped treatment, compared with 9.2% of those who continued. Statistically, one additional cardiovascular event was observed for every 40 people who stopped taking the medication over a two-year period. The researchers concluded that stopping statins cannot be recommended for everyone; the decision should be made in consultation with a doctor and based on each person’s circumstances. They also advised against stopping the medication without consulting a doctor.
