AMSTERDAM — Two new studies may have somewhat allayed concerns about cognitive dysfunction being a possible adverse effect of statins.
The first study of 58,000 patients showed a dose-related inverse relationship between statin use and new-onset nonvascular dementia. The second report, in 5221 patients with atrial fibrillation, found a lower incidence of dementia in patients taking statins compared with those not taking statins.
