Protective effects of statins on pulmonary function in patients with persistent hyperlipidemia: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pulmonary function tests offer crucial parameters for evaluating lung health and predicting clinical outcomes. Hyperlipidemia, a prevalent metabolic disorder, has been linked to declining pulmonary function. Statins are an essential therapy for lowering lipid levels in hyperlipidemia.

Objectives

This study aims to investigate the therapeutic potential of statins in mitigating the decline in pulmonary function.

Design

This is a retrospective cohort study.

Methods

Out of 8286 patients who underwent spirometry testing from January 2018 to December 2020, 492 patients were included in the final analysis. The relationship between statin usage, dosage, along with other biometric indices and spirometry parameters were evaluated. Multivariate logistic regress
