I'm 74 and would not take it. I do take a statin, but without it, my cholesterol was very high. Don't like taking that, but beats clogged arteries.
Aging gracefully but working like hell at trying to stay as young as possible thru diet, avoiding alcohol, tobacco, and getting plenty of exercise. Seems to be working good for me so far. May sound like bragging, but people who I've met never think I'm in my 70's, some even think late 50's, despite the grey hair and hair loss. Disclosure--must have inherited good genes, counting myself lucky.
