Description
Jiye Lee and co-authors study whether statin use tracks with muscle mass loss over time in a 2026 cohort study. Statins are prescribed worldwide to cut cardiovascular risk, yet worries about their muscle effects persist. Evidence on how long-term use relates to actual muscle mass change, especially in general populations, has been inconsistent.
The retrospective study used adults with repeated health examinations from 2021 onward at one center. It related statin use to changes in total and region-specific skeletal muscle mass. Clearer evidence helps doctors weigh a proven heart benefit against a feared muscle cost.
