<p>Comparison of statin users and a comparison group of statin non-users.</p

Body mass index and collagen organization.

<p>The entire cohort (n = 66) was categorized as having a body composition that was normal (18.5 to 24.9, n = 24), overweight (25 to 29.9, n = 21) or obese (30+, n = 11).[<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0199645#pone.0199645.ref021" target="_blank">21</a>] Statin users are shown as open circles, controls are yellow. Obese individuals (comprising 5 male statin-users, 1 female statin user, and 5 male comparison participants,) demonstrated a reduced collagen organization (Kruskal-Wallis H = 7.4, df = 2, p = 0.02) compared to those of normal body weight.</p
