Statins 'ineffective for heart disease in elderly'

The study, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, found no benefit among those taking pravastatin in reducing the risk of dying from any cause or of developing coronary heart disease, compared with those receiving normal care.

In fact, more people taking the statin died during the 6-year follow up than those in the other group. Among the 65 to 74 year olds there were 141 deaths in the statin group compared to 130 in those not taking the medication. Among those aged 75 the difference was even more marked, with 92 deaths versus 65.
