Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Randomized controlled trial of statin intervention in dyslipidemic obese teenagers. Primary outcome is intima media thickness before and after intervention.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |

Phase 3 |
Detailed Description
Obese teenagers with abnormal lipid profiles were randomized to either low dose statin or placebo and had their carotid intima media thickness compared before and after intervention.
