Table 5. Men, Stratified at Age 40.
Placebo | Statin | Simvastatin | Pravastatin | ||||||||

Mean (SD) | 95%CI | Mean (SD) | 95%CI | P vs placebo | Mean (SD) | 95%CI | P vs placebo | Mean (SD) | 95%CI | P vs placebo | |
Δ OASMa Age ≤ 40 N = 92 | 0.036 (4.4) | -1.7, 1.8 | -2.3 (5.4) | -3.6, -0.95 | 0.047 | -1.7 (4.6) | -3.3, -0.11 | 0.14 | -3.0 (6.2) | -5.4, -0.67 | 0.037 |
Δ OASMa Age > 40 N = 569 | 0.24 (4.5) | -0.40, 0.89 | -0.86 (4.6) | -1.3, -0.39 | 0.007 | -1.0 (4.5) | -1.7, -0.40 | 0.005 | -0.68 (4.8) | -1.4, 0.005 | 0.053 |

CI = confidence interval; OASMa = Overt-Aggression-Scale-Modified–Aggression-Subscale; SD = standard deviation. Magnitude of effect (coefficient) is larger among men under 40, in each statin group. However, there are approximately 6 times as many participants in the over 40 vs the under 40 category, providing greater significance in the simvastatin and statin groups for those age over 40 years, despite smaller effect sizes. Last-on-treatment-value-carried-forward analysis. Excludes the 3 outliers.
