No association was observed between the use of a statin and the risk of NOD in patients with RA, including patients of both genders and aged 40-60 years, but these parameters were affected by gender and age. The decreased risk of NOD in patients with RA was greater among older male patients. Use of a statin in older male (> 60 years) patients with RA may be needed in clinical practice to prevent dementia.
