Association between statin medication with VO₂peak for males (A) and females (B). The dashed line indicates a β-coefficient of “0”, which means that there are no significant differences in VO₂peak between statin users and non-users. The red line is representative of the overall β (i.e. the observed difference in VO₂peak between statin users and non-users). The quantiles on the x-axis are representative of exercise capacity. Subjects with the lowest VO₂peak are on the left and while the one with highest exercise capacity are on the right. Statin medication was associated with a significantly reduced VO₂peak in male between the 5^th and 95^th quantiles. For females no significant differences were observed.
