PREVENTABLE Study is a research project to see if a medicine called atorvastatin can help people aged 75 and older who don't have heart disease or memory problems stay healthy. Atorvastatin is a type of drug called a statin, used to lower cholesterol. The study compares atorvastatin to a placebo, which is a pill that looks like the real medicine but doesn't have any active ingredients. This study will last up to 5 years. Participants will be randomly assigned to take either atorvastatin or a placebo and will be regularly checked by phone calls to see how they're doing. If you join, the study will send you the medicine every 90 days. It involves community engagement and uses technology like phone and telehealth for easy participation.
- Study lasts up to 5 years, with phone check-ins.
