Default Linking Statins and Lipids in Parkinson’s Disease
The authors reported that statin use was significantly associated with higher PD risk. The association was highest for fat soluble (lipophilic) statins. This association was most pronounced for the initial stage of statin treatment, which the authors surmised was an effect of statins "unmasking" the onset of preclinical Parkinson's.
