Use of statins and risk of uterine leiomyoma: A cohort study in the UK Biobank.

A cohort study conducted in the UK Biobank found no significant association between the use of statins and the risk of uterine leiomyoma (fibroids) in premenopausal women. The study analyzed data from over 60,000 participants and examined different types of statins. The results were consistent across various subgroup and sensitivity analyses, suggesting that statins do not appear to reduce the risk of uterine leiomyoma. However, caution should be exercised when interpreting the findings due to potential biases. [Extracted from the article]
