- Statins and blood pressure drugs changing health risks of obesity, study suggests
A 25-year study in the Lancet found that people over 40 with obesity have comparable blood pressure and cholesterol control to their peers with normal BMI, likely due to increased use of statins and blood pressure medications. The study tracked cardiovascular risk factors during an era of expanded access to these drugs.
