Statins and Women: A Surprising Link to Omega-3 DHA

Some research suggests statins may cause adverse side effects more often in women than in men. One proposed explanation involves the X chromosome and differences in gene dosage that can influence fatty acid metabolism, including levels of the omega-3 DHA. Emerging evidence suggests this pathway may help explain why some women experience stronger metabolic effects.
