[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 345967, member: 55568"] Thanks for your input. It does good to hear it from the horses mouth so to speak. I have pointed out to my GP that if you keep prescribing statins to people who don't need them, then the statistics are going to look better than stats made of from 100% poorly people. It's a biased sample set which skews the result. They effect is the same as the opinion poll for the general election in 1964 which put the Conservatives in the lead. The pollsters conducted the poll by telephone and, back in those days, people who could afford telephones tended to be better off tory party voters. The sample set was biased and the inference skewed. [/QUOTE]
