Does statin therapy prevent the onset of Parkinson disease in patients with diabetes?
In Taiwanese diabetic patients, the risk of PD is lower in statin users than in nonusers of statins. Statin users, except lovastatin users, are dose-dependently associated with a decreased incidence of PD compared with nonusers of statins. This finding provides a new indication for statin beyond lipid control and cardiovascular events in diabetic patients. Ann Neurol 2016;80:532-540.
This novel exploration demonstrated that individual and relationship-based factors are linked to the perceived expression of stubbornness by parents and that there is discordance in perceptions within families. Findings suggest a need for intervention to increase understanding within families.
