The average age for people taking statins is generally between 50 and 75 years old, with guidelines recommending statin use for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in adults aged 40 to 75 who have certain risk factors.
While high cholesterol is a major risk factor, approximately half of heart attacks occur in individuals with "normal" cholesterol levels, highlighting the importance of considering other risk factors.


  • Normal Cholesterol Levels:
    Studies have shown that many people who experience heart attacks have cholesterol levels that would be considered normal or not high-risk.

While high cholesterol is a major risk factor, approximately half of heart attacks occur in individuals with "normal" cholesterol levels, highlighting the importance of considering other risk factors.

Here's a more detailed explanation:



  • Normal Cholesterol Levels:
    Studies have shown that many people who experience heart attacks have cholesterol levels that would be considered normal or not high-risk.



  • Other Risk Factors:
    This means that other factors besides high cholesterol can contribute to heart attacks, including:

    • Inflammation: Chronic inflammation in the arteries can contribute to plaque buildup.

    • Genetics: Family history of heart disease can increase risk.

    • Lifestyle: Smoking, lack of exercise, and unhealthy diet can all play a role.

    • High Blood Pressure: High blood pressure can damage blood vessels and increase the risk of heart attack.

    • Diabetes: Diabetes can damage blood vessels and increase the risk of heart disease.

    • Remnant Cholesterol: Some studies suggest that remnant cholesterol, a type of cholesterol that remains after LDL cholesterol is cleared, may be a significant risk factor, even in people with low LDL cholesterol.





  • Importance of Comprehensive Risk Assessment:
    Due to the complexity of heart disease, a comprehensive assessment of an individual's risk factors is crucial, not just focusing on cholesterol levels.



  • Focus on Prevention:
    Even with normal cholesterol levels, individuals should focus on healthy lifestyle choices to reduce their overall risk of heart disease, such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking.
