There are limited randomized data on statins for primary prevention in older people, and the relative hazard of cardiovascular disease associated with elevated cholesterol weakens with advancing age. To assess the efficacy and safety of rosuvastatin in individuals 70 years of age or older. Secondary analysis of the JUPITER trial, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. 1315 sites in 26 countries randomized subjects in JUPITER. Among the 17802 randomized participants with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) levels of less than 130 mg/dL and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels of 2.0 mg/L or higher, and without cardiovascular disease, 5695 were 70 years of age or older. Participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive 20 mg rosuvastatin daily or placebo. The primary end point was the occurrence of a first cardiovascular event (myocardial infarction, stroke, arterial revascularization, hospitalization for unstable angina, or death from cardiovascular causes). The 32% of trial participants aged 70 years or older accrued 49% (N=194) of the 393 confirmed primary end points. The rates of the primary end point in this age group were 1.22 and 1.99 per 100 person-years of follow-up in the rosuvastatin and placebo groups, respectively (hazard ratio 0.61; [95% CI, 0.46 to 0.82]; P<0.001). Corresponding rates of all-cause mortality in this age group were 1.63 and 2.04 (hazard ratio 0.80; [95% CI, 0.62 to 1.04]; P=0.090). While there was no significant heterogeneity in treatment effects by age, absolute reductions in event rates associated with rosuvastatin were greater in older individuals. The relative rate of any serious adverse event among older people in the rosuvastatin group versus placebo was 1.05 (95% CI: 0.93–1.17). Effect estimates from this exploratory analysis with age cutpoint chosen after trial completion should be viewed in the context of the overall trial results. In apparently healthy older people without hyperlipidemia but with elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, rosuvastatin reduces the incidence of major cardiovascular events. AstraZeneca
