eCite - The impact of statins on psychological wellbeing: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: Cholesterol-lowering medications such as statins have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which may be beneficial for treating depression and improving mood. However, evidence regarding their effects remains inconsistent, with some studies reporting links to mood disturbances. We aimed to conduct a metaanalysis to determine the impact of statins on psychological wellbeing of individuals with or without hypercholesterolemia.
