A large new study suggests that statins may help more people with type 2 diabetes<\/a> than previously thought.<\/p>\n

Researchers found that the cholesterol-lowering drugs reduced the risk of death and serious cardiovascular events not only in high-risk patients, but also in those considered low-risk based on standard 10-year heart disease predictions, according to a press release.<\/p>\n

While statins are commonly prescribed to people with diabetes, there has been uncertainty about whether patients with a low predicted risk of cardiovascular disease<\/a> would benefit from taking them.<\/p>\n

SIMPLE LIFESTYLE CHANGES COULD SLASH HEART ATTACK RISK FOR MILLIONS, SCIENTISTS REPORT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

To explore this, researchers from the University of Hong Kong analyzed health records<\/a> from a large U.K. medical database known as IQVIA Medical Research Data.<\/p>\n

The study included adults aged 25 to 84 with type 2 diabetes who had no serious heart disease or liver problems when the study began. Participants were followed for as long as 10 years, allowing researchers to track long-term outcomes.<\/p>\n

The researchers compared people who started taking statins<\/a> with similar people who did not take them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They also grouped patients based on their estimated 10-year risk of developing cardiovascular disease, ranging from low-risk to higher-risk. This allowed them to assess whether statins were helpful only for higher-risk patients or across the board.<\/p>\n

The results, which were published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, showed that statins were linked to meaningful benefits for all groups.<\/p>\n

Adults with type 2 diabetes<\/a> who took the medications were less likely to die from any cause and less likely to experience major cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks or other serious heart-related complications.<\/p>\n

These benefits were seen even among patients who were considered low-risk based on standard prediction tools, the researchers noted.<\/p>\n

In terms of safety, the study claims to have found little cause for concern. A very small increase in muscle-related side effects, known as myopathy, was observed in one risk group. However, there was no increased risk of liver problems, which is often a concern with statin use<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There may be important differences among people that the data couldn\u2019t fully capture, the researchers wrote in the study publication.<\/p>\n

Some health-related factors that were not measured, such as lifestyle habits, diet, exercise<\/a>, or how closely people follow medical advice, could have affected the outcome, they added.<\/p>\n

Also, some hospital events may not have been fully recorded in the data. That means a few hospitalizations or complications might have been missed or not counted, which could slightly affect the accuracy of the findings.<\/p>\n

The researchers recommend that clinicians should consider the potential benefits<\/a> of statin therapy for most adults with type 2 diabetes, even when short-term cardiovascular risk appears low.<\/p>\n

Patients with type 2 diabetes should speak with their doctor before starting or changing statin therapy, as individual health factors, potential side effects and personal cardiovascular risk should be considered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
