Our results further imply that lipid-lowering drugs, e.g., statins, should be applied carefully in ALS patients although individual risk considerations must be made

Seems this new study confirms that implication!
The number of cases is so small that it is hard to see trends like an increase since statin therapy and LF diets became common. However the more men (prescribed statins at a higher rate than women), and twice the rate with veterans (who likely available themselves of the standard VA CVD protocols?) get ALS. |
