The benefits of taking statins for older adults without heart disease are not fully understood. About 20,000 older adults along with a team of researchers and clinicians across the country will be involved in the PREVENTABLE study. The purpose is to learn if taking a statin is helpful for older adults. Are you a good fit for PREVENTABLE? Contact the study team to find out.
