  • Description: Statins have been widely prescribed for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease since clinical trials have demonstrated the survival benefits. However, the threshold of cardiac risk at which to prescribe statins is still controversial, especially at older ages when everyone would be eligible solely due to their age. Our study aim was to dynamically predict the survival benefits associated with statin therapy over the course of 25 years in patients aged 60 residential in England or Wales.
