Another study by the same authors differently showed that patients with hypertension and dyslipidaemia taking fluvastatin, lovastatin and rosuvastatin were at lower risk of new-onset T2DM, while those taking pravastatin were at higher risk. Simvastatin and atorvastatin seemed to have a neutral effect. Notably, the authors underline that these findings may not be generalized to subjects in other geographic areas, due to potentially dif- ferent diagnostic criteria and other issues related to the construction of the data set [28]
