Effects of Statins on Relative Risk of Fractures for Older Adults: An Updated Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis

摘要

Objectives: Basic and translational studies have found statin treatment may have beneficial effects on bone metabolism; however, whether statins reduce the risk of fractures in older adults is still in debate. Therefore, we aimed to summarize the up-to-date evidence on risk of fracture among older individuals with statin use.
