[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1022333, member: 196898"] Looking at the CTT report from 2012, there is an abstract published. In it there is a claim of.. Dunno For some reason I am suddenly locked out of the PubMed website, and no longer able to access the CTT reports. Will re-enter this if I gain access again. Ok Got in by a back door,,, New article is [URL]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22607822[/URL] which is 2012 Lancet report. As I was saying in it there is a claim of a reduction of 11 in 1000 of major CVE over a 5 year period for people with a 5 year risk of major vascular event. This is a more believable figure being 1.1% as we saw in the 2010 results of this report. This is for people with low risk of CVE in the first place, and is the team's submiission to back up giving statins to everybody, not just diabetics. The article also states that this benefit [B][U]exceeds any known hazards[/U][/B] for statin therapy. It is only an abstract, so there is nothing to back these claims up. There are some abstracted graphs at the end that appear to have been redacted since they seem to be misssing the axis data and are difficult to interpret. [/QUOTE]
