The USPSTF recommends that providers prescribe a statin for the primary prevention of CVD for individuals 40 to 75 years of age with one or more cardiovascular disease risk factors and an estimated 10-yearcardiovascular disease risk of 10% or greater (Mangione et al., 2022).And for patients 40-75 with one or more cardiovascular disease risk factors and an estimated 10-year cardiovascular disease risk of 7.5-10%, the provider should selectively offer a statin for primary prevention (Mangione et al., 2022)...........
