Ongoing statin use was not associated with cognitive decline or dementia progression in mild-moderate AD. Similarly, use was not associated with adverse events including abnormal liver function tests or falls. Whilst safe in those with AD, the current results suggest ongoing statin use does not delay cognitive decline or clinical progression in established AD.
