Statins, a class of drugs used to lower cholesterol, could also help ward off Parkinson’s disease, particularly among people younger than 60, a new study has suggested. The study involving more than 1,30,000 people found that people who took statins had 26 percent decreased risk of developing Parkinson’s diseases over a 12 year period. For those under the age of 60, the risk was reduced by 60 percent.
