Are negative news stories about statins hazardous to your health? Some Danish researchers wanted to find an answer to that questions. In a study published online December 2 in the European Heart Journal, Doctors Sune Fallagaard Nielsen and Borge Gronne Nordestgaard examined the Danish Civil Registration System records for data on statin prescriptions, heart attacks, and death from cardiovascular disease, and compared them to the incidence of statin-related news stories in the Danish media, for the period 1995-2010. The researchers found 1,931 news stories, and graded them as either positive (731 stories) neutral (1090 stories) or negative (110 stories).
