Unfortunately, the study you cited isn't applicable. It's looking at near-term mortality impact in a cohort of people under 25.

Which is very good to know about, but doesn't provide much insight into the longevity impact from lifelong use, as might be appearing in this one.



Thanks. I noticed that, and removed the study link after posting- but these drugs have been used very long term, and the risk vs benefits extensively studied. They do increase CVD risk measurably, but that seems to be compensated for by reduction of other risks.
