1. In this study, improved sleep quality was associated with significantly decreased systolic blood pressure and increased high-density lipoprotein levels after 24 months.
2. Increased time to sleep was also associated with decreased low-density lipoprotein levels, after 24 months.

1. In patients aged ≥75 years, LDL cholesterol-lowering therapies reduced the risk for major vascular events, including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and coronary revascularization.
2. In older patients (≥75 years), the benefits in risk reduction were similar when compared to younger patients (< 75 years), and when comparing statin...
