(A) Monte Carlo simulations (10,000 simulations) for the association statin-asymptomatic status with feature hypertension as changing variable. Random samples of the total cohort (n = 154) were taken with change of the hypertension status for all subjects of this sample. For each sample, the OR for statin intake and asymptomatic status adjusted for age, gender, functional status, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension was calculated. The y-axis shows these ORs: boxplots represent median (midline), 25% and 75% percentiles (upper and lower perimeters) and 1.5× interquartile range (whiskers). The x-axis indicates the chosen sample size. A horizontal line at y = 1 represents the line of no effect. (B) Monte Carlo simulations (10,000 simulations) for the association statin-asymptomatic status with feature functional status as changing variable. Random samples of the residents with a Katz scale indicating a small decrease in functional status or unknown status (n = 56) were taken with change of the functional status for all subjects of this sample. For each sample, the OR for statin intake and asymptomatic status adjusted for age, gender, functional status, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension was calculated. The y-axis shows these ORs: boxplots represent median (midline), 25% and 75% percentiles (upper and lower perimeters), and 1.5× interquartile range (whiskers). The x-axis indicates the chosen sample size. A horizontal line at y = 1 represents the line of no effect.
