Beta = regression coefficient; CI = confidence interval; OASMa = Overt-Aggression-Scale-Modified–Aggression-Subscale; SE = standard error. A statin x age interaction term, e.g. binarizing at age 55 (years) was significant for simvastatin (P = 0.039), and borderline significant for combined statins (P = 0.092). Women age <45 years, including participant 412: Statin: n = 7; β = -0.79 (SE = 2.5) 95%CI = -7.9, 6.3; P = 0.77. Simvastatin: n = 5; β = 0.15 (SE = 4.8) 95%CI = -20.5, 20.8; P = 0.98. Pravastatin: n = 5; β = -1.2 (SE = 3.3) 95%CI = -15.3, 12.9; P = 0.74. Women age <45 years, excluding participant 412: Statin: n = 6; β = 3.5 (SE = 1.8) 95%CI = -2.2, 9.2; P = 0.15. Simvastatin: n = 4; β = 5.0 (SE = 1.4) 95%CI = -13.0, 23.0; P = 0.18. Pravastatin: n = 4; β = 2.0 (SE = 1.4) 95%CI = -16.0, 20.0; P = 0.39.
