No, I did mean adults.

You said 40% of adult males (I’m assuming 18+) use hypertension medication and / or statins. Is that really true? For clarity, I’m not saying you are wrong, but it sounds double what I would expect.

That IS wrong. JDB might be confusing the current situation with a 2023 NICE report that suggested that around 40% of the UK adult population might benefit from taking statins. This would mean an extra 15 million people taking them vs currently if it was actioned. Currently the proportion of the adult male population taking statins is under 20%.
