[QUOTE="dnfuss, post: 123968, member: 15487"] An observational study, not a randomized, controlled trial. Useless for any purpose other than proposing clinical trials. Here's an example of a randomized, controlled trial: The ALLHAT-LLP trial, the [U]only[/U] large clinical trial of statins not funded by a pharmaceutical company. That trial's raw data is available for anyone to review (the statin trials funded by pharmaceutical companies will not release their raw data, a disturbing development in modern research which medical societies are beginning to move to prohibit). It covered over 10,000 subjects over an average period of approximately five years. They had elevated LDL cholesterol labs but had not had a heart attack, i.e., primary prevention. Half were given a daily statin, half were not. The result? No statistically significant difference in all-cause mortality. None whatsoever. In layman's terms: over 5,000 people with high cholesterol but no existing heart disease taking a statin for five years did not live one day longer than those who didn't. [/QUOTE]
