| Diabetes | 1.90 (1.59–2.28) | <.001 | 8.56 (4.35–16.87) | <.001 |
| Hypertension | 1.35 (1.14–1.60) | .001 | 2.30 (1.29–4.11) | .005 |
| Cerebrovascular disease | 0.87 (0.64–1.17) | .36 | 0.59 (0.17–2.01) | .40 |

| Tobacco use | 0.98 (0.82–1.16) | .76 | 1.26 (0.60–2.65) | .53 |
| Sex (male) | 1.19 (1.04–1.37) | .01 | 1.47 (0.81–2.66) | .21 |
| Age (per year) | 1.05 (1.04–1.05) | <.001 | 1.06 (1.03–1.09) | <.001 |
Notes: An odds ratio exceeding 1 indicates higher likelihood of statin use. Odds ratios are adjusted for insurance status, race, and poverty category.
