Statins and Parkinson's disease risk

Do Statins increase or decrease the risk of Parkinson's disease? Any research?

Statins do not appear to increase the long-term risk of Parkinson's disease overall. It at all—most systematic reviews suggest a modest association with LOWER Parkinson's disease risk. But these come from observational studies. There is also no convincing evidence that statins slow progression once Parkinson's disease develops.
