Other researchers say that evidence is muddy. The reduction in cardiovascular events sounds impressive until you take a closer look. Men taking Crestor had a lower risk of hard events, including fatal and nonfatal heart attack and stroke. But the only statistically significant benefits for women treated with Crestor involved less extreme end points, like hospitalization for unstable chest pain and arterial revascularization (a category of procedures that includes major surgery). To prevent one event, 36 women would need to take the statin for five years - a modest result, critics...
...Risk Profile, StupidWhy statins fail to show equal benefits for men and women is unclear, but one reason may be that women are simply at lower risk of heart disease than men. You would need a powerful treatment to lower an already low risk. Researchers also don't know why women are more likely than men to suffer side effects from statins and many other drugs but posit that lower body weight and hormonal fluctuations play a role. Biological explanations aside, the larger point is the same: with any treatment, the benefits should outweigh the risks...
