Looking through studies to confirm statements found on perplexity -

perplexity.ai/search/eviden...

that differentiate effects of high and low dosage of statins on bone density and /or fracture risk, the strength of the medication, and whether the statin is lipohilic.

This review goes over recent studies -

I havent found any research report of effect of statins on bone density in men using ADT.

Cheers!
