Diabetes Risk - In accordance with a work published Online First inside the Archives of General medicine, one of many JAMA/Archives journals, using statins in postmenopausal women, is related to a increased risk of diabetes.
However, researchers explain that statins address the cardiovascular consequences of diabetes, and this the modern American Diabetes Association guidelines for primary and secondary prevention must not change. The authors advise not changing guidelines for statin use within nondiabetic populations.
Annie L. Culver, B. Pharm, Rochester Methodist Hospital, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., and her team evaluated data from your national, multiyear Women's Health Initiative until 2005, including 153,840 women without diabetes, aged an average of 63.couple of years. The study examined statin use at enrollment, as well as in year three. 7.04% of girls reported for statin medication at baseline.
In line with the findings, 10,242 new cases of diabetes and statin use at baseline was related to a heightened risk of diabetes. The final results remained unchanged following adjustment for other potential variables, for example age, race/ethnicity and the entire body mass index, and didn't differ between different types of statins.

The study comment :
"The final results of the study mean that statin use conveys an elevated risk of the latest-onset DM in postmenopausal woman. Commensurate with the findings of other studies, our results are convinced that statin-induced DM is usually a medication class effect rather than associated with potency in order to individual statin.
However, the effects of statin-induced DM (diabetes mellitus) weren't specifically defined and deserve more attention. Given the wide usage of statins within the aging population, further studies among women, men, and diverse ethnicities will clarify DM risk and risk management to optimize therapy."
