Prevalence and factors associated with statin use among a nationally representative sample of US Adults: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2011-2012.
The researchers estimated the prevalence and likelihood of statin use among a statin benefit group with diabetes and a second group with arteriosclerosis. In adjusted models, uninsured and Hispanic adults were less likely to be on a statin compared with white adults; 59.5 percent of all adults in the diabetes statin benefit group, and 63.5 percent of all adults in the srteriosclerosis group were on a statin.
