Abstract
Statins should be routinely prescribed to all Asian Indian men and women with diabetes above the ages of 37 and 50 years, respectively. For patients below these age thresholds, decision to initiate statins should be based on patient's individual cardiovascular risk factors. This strategy may facilitate public health efforts to reduce CHD events in India.
