A study of patient records in the military health care system over a 9-year period has found a correlation between statin use and dementia and cataracts. This does not prove that statins caused cataracts. However, those on statins were 27% more likely to develop cataracts. JAMA Opthamology via Philly.com
In a completely different study from the Mayo Clinic, it seems that statins lower the risk of dementia, especially if used for more than a year. The list of statin side effects grows ever longer. via FirstWordPharma
