Bold p-values indicate p < 0.05.

Adjusted for the five variables that were statistically significant in the original study for an association with SAMS [15].

Other statins include cerivastatin, fluvastatin and pitavastatin.

§

Adjusted for the three variables that were significantly different between Coenzyme Q10 users and non-users in Table 1.

SAMS: Statin-associated muscle symptoms.
