Eilat-Tsanani S, et al. - In this study, researchers analyzed data from older members (aged ≥ 65 years) of Clalit Health Services to determine how mortality and cardiovascular morbidity over long-term were influenced by adherence to statins. A total of 19,518 older adults were followed for 10 years. Those who adhered to statin treatment were found to have 34% lower all-cause mortality rates vs non-adherents. Fewer atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events were reported in relation to adherence to statins. Irrespective of age and sex, reduced mortality and cardiovascular morbidity was evident among statin adherents.
