Genetic insights into the association of statin and newer nonstatin drug target genes with human longevity: a Mendelian randomization analysis

Abstract Background It remains controversial whether the long-term use of statins or newer nonstatin drugs has a positive effect on human longevity. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the genetic associations between different lipid-lowering therapeutic gene targets and human longevity. Meth...
