Article Synopsis
  • The study assessed the impact of statin therapy on all-cause mortality in nursing home residents, both with and without dementia, using data from a German health insurance provider over four years.
  • Researchers found that statin users, regardless of dementia status, had a lower risk of dying compared to non-users, with significant results (HR 0.80 for those with dementia and HR 0.73 for those without).
