Except in a subgroup of men *not* taking statins? So, aerobic physical exercise is ineffective for men who do take statins and effective for men who don't? Then, Duh!, do aerobic physical exercise and don't take statins! Statin drugs are a huge scam. Big Pharma is raking in billions of dollars on drugs that, for the vast majority of users, provide no benefit in terms of decreased all-cause mortality. The only statin users who do benefit from them are men under the age of 65 with a history of a heart attack, and the benefit isn't all that great.
