Does that mean that a CPAP using sleep apnoea sufferer who does not have raised cholesterol will not gain benefit from statins? (I've been on CPAP for 25 years+ now, but my cholesterol is not raised).

I'm not sure if this study can answer that? It looks like the subjects were just apnea patients, not explicitly arranged into normal vs. high cholesterol groups(?), so it wouldn't necessarily answer the relative effectiveness between the two scenarios
