- This study examined the link between socioeconomic status and mortality risk in older Japanese patients treated for dyslipidemia using data from the 2010 Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES).
- It included 47,275 participants aged 65 and older, employing the Cox proportional hazards model to analyze mortality risk based on self-reported dyslipidemia treatment while controlling for health conditions and socioeconomic factors.
- The findings indicated that individuals receiving treatment had lower mortality risks, with adjusted hazard ratios showing a significant association between dyslipidemia treatment and reduced death rates across different age and sex groups.
