Effect of Statin Use on Mobility Disability and its Prevention in At-risk Older Adults: The LIFE Study

Conclusions:
Although statins have been associated with adverse effects on muscle, data from the LIFE Study show that statin users and nonusers both benefit from PA interventions. Older adults who require statin medications to manage chronic medical conditions and are sedentary will be able to benefit from interventions to increase PA.
