Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated the link between statin use and the risk of various ovarian, uterine, and cervical diseases among women in the UK Biobank, finding that statin use was significantly associated with higher risks of cervical cancer and polycystic ovarian syndrome.
  • Researchers used data from interviews and health records, analyzing 180,855 women (18,403 statin users and 162,452 nonusers) to determine these associations through Cox regression models.
  • No significant relationship was found between statin use and risks of ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, hyperplasia, or polyps, suggesting that statins may specifically influence some cervical and ovarian conditions.]
