Pragmatic Evaluation of Events and Benefits of Lipid-lowering in Older Adults (PREVENTABLE)

Could taking a commonly used heart medication prevent dementia?

What is the PREVENTABLE study?
PREVENTABLE is one of the largest studies in older adults. The goal is to learn if taking a statin could help older adults live well for longer by preventing dementia, disability, or heart disease. This is a study about preventing memory loss and dementia – something we all care about.

You may be a good fit for the study if you:

  • Are 75 years or older
  • Are not taking a statin
  • Do not have heart disease (heart attack or stroke)
  • Do not have dementia

Taking part in PREVENTABLE is easy.
Participants can join the study at home by phone or videoconference, get study drug by mail, and be followed by phone, health records or home visits, if necessary.

“This is not just a statin study – it is a study about cognitive health”

By participating, you will leave a legacy by advancing science for healthy brain aging helping generations to come!
