In PREVENTABLE, researchers are looking to partner with people 75 years or older to learn whether taking a statin could help older adults live well for longer by preventing dementia, disability, or heart disease.
Participation Eligibility
- 75 years or older
- Not taking a statin
- No history of heart attack, stroke, or heart disease
- Free from dementia or any significant disability that limits your basic everyday activities
Get Involved
Commitment
- Be randomly assigned to either atorvastatin 40mg or placebo. The study is blinded, so you will not know which one you are taking.
- One study visit per year, conducted in person or by phone. These visits will include questions about your health and a memory test
- Agree to provide health data through your electronic health record and Medicare.
Compensation
You will be paid $75 for the first in-person visit. A small group of participants will be asked to return for a follow-up visit 3 months after the initial visit and will be paid an additional $50. All annual follow-up visits will be paid at the amount of $50.
