Eilat-Tsanani S, et al. - In this historical population-based cohort study, researchers performed a 10-year follow-up of members of Clalit Health Services aged 65 years or older who were eligible for primary cardiovascular prevention, to determine how mortality and cardiovascular morbidity among older adults are influenced in long-term by adherence to statins. They used routinely collected data from the participants (n = 19,518). The participants who had adhered to statin treatment vs those who had not exhibited 34% lower all-cause mortality rates. Fewer atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events were reported in relation to adherence to statins. Based on the findings, a possible link was suggested between adherence to statins and reduced mortality and cardiovascular morbidity among older adults, irrespective of age and gender.
