Study shows statin therapy cost-effective for older adults, improving health outcomes and increasing QALYs.
A study published in the journal Heart indicates that statin therapy is cost-effective for people aged 70 and older, improving health outcomes regardless of prior cardiovascular disease. Standard statin use can increase quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) significantly. The research suggests that most older adults should consider statins, as their benefits exceed costs, with findings supporting further investigation into their effectiveness in this demographic.
