Intake of polyunsaturated fat in relation to mortality among statin users and non-users in the Southern Community Cohort Study

Conclusions Our results suggest potential benefits of PUFA consumption on mortality which are only apparent in the absence of statin therapy. It seems prudent to consider the potential benefit of PUFA consumption in the primary prevention of CVD among patients who are not candidates for statin therapy but are at increased risk for CVD and mortality.
