A Systematic Review Uncovering Modifiable Influences on Statin Adherence by Rosenberg J, Lampridou S, Moores A, Garfield S, Wingfield D, Judah G

“…Future research should focus on addressing barriers faced by underrepresented groups to create more inclusive and effective interventions that enhance patient support and communication for better health outcomes.Plain language summary: People are prescribed statins to prevent strokes and heart attacks. This study combines findings from previous studies to understand why many people do not take statins as prescribed.Common barriers to taking statins included not thinking being at risk of strokes and heart attacks, believing statins are harmful, experiencing side effects and poor communication and trust with healthcare professionals.Common things encouraging statin taking included thinking statins have benefits, having cholesterol levels checked, routines and methods to remember statin intake and having ways of dealing with side effects. …”
