Statin Dose and LDL Control*^†‡§

	Women (n = 21,780)		Men (n = 646,429)
	(%)	LDL level in mg/dL [mean(SD)]	(%)	LDL level in mg/dL [mean(SD)]
No statin	33	105 (38)	30	92 (32)
Low-dose	8	96 (34)	8	84 (28)
Moderate-dose	32	92 (33)	34	80 (28)
High-dose	27	95 (37)	29	83 (31)

*Based on the statin dose at the time of index LDL. ^†Percents do not total to 100 due to rounding. ^‡Pearson’s chi square testing the equality of groups has a p value of < 0.0001.

^§Mean difference of LDL within each statin dose was significantly different by gender, with a p value < 0.0001
