- Abstract
The article discusses a study conducted to examine if statins reduce mortality in adults without established cardiovascular disease (CVD) but with CVD risk factors. The results indicated positivity in statins reducing mortality and cardiovascular events. Later it was also found that the meta-analysis was unable to determine which populations are most likely to benefit from primary prevention with statins.
