Regular use of anti-hypertensive drugs and anti-diabetes including ACEIs, beta-blockers, CCBs, diuretics, metformin, and sulfonylureas could protect against the incidence of ALS. No significant association between anti-hyperlipidemia drug use and risk of ALS was revealed. Regular medications for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes should be recommended regardless of the diagnosis of ALS.
