States with the highest, lowest statin use: GoodRx

Hawaii has the highest statin fill rate while Utah has the lowest, according to a new GoodRx report.

GoodRx calculated the statin fill rate by state. However, it notes that high fill rates do not necessarily mean high cardiovascular risk. Other factors, such as population demographics, healthcare access, prevalence of heart disease, socioeconomic factors and healthcare professional practices could contribute to the fill rates.

Here are the states with the highest and lowest statin fill rates:
