About the Study
By taking part in PREVENTABLE, you could help us learn whether taking a statin is helpful for older adults. Starting a statin even after age 75 may help lower the risk of dementia, but we don’t really know. Results from PREVENTABLE will help us understand.
You may be a good fit for the study if you:
-
Are 75 years or older
-
Are not taking a statin
-
Do not have heart disease (heart attack or stroke)
-
Do not have dementia
