Hi Nancy

Welcome to NeuroTalk .

Parkinson's Disease is a very complex condition. If you are curious about possible associations between it and statins you could do PubMed search (there is a link to PubMed at the top of all NT pages). When I did this I retrieved 120 papers. The most recent of them suggest that statin use is associated with a decreased risk of PD.

There are a number of threads on NT where negative effects of statin use have been discussed. You could use the Search command (https://www.neurotalk.org/search.php) to find them; they could also help you.

Best wishes.
