"It's interesting that we saw such a big effect here," Schwartz says. The statin users showed half the rate...

Schwartz stresses that his study was not a clinical one with randomized subjects, but lung experts agree that Schwartz's group has highlighted an intriguing association that deserves further study. "These findings will be highly embraced by the pulmonary community," says Dr. Michael Roth, professor of pulmonary and critical care medicine at UCLA Medical Center...
