'Over one in five Americans between the ages of 40 and 75 already take a statin to prevent an initial heart attack or stroke, the American study from 2017 estimated."

"The ACC/AHA recommendation in particular would more than double it."

From 23 and Me.  This is an interesting graph but what does it mean?  Much depends on the ages of the people who do 23 and me.  Asians don't tolerate statins very well which may explain the low number.
