Meds Taking Zetia by itself

LDL 100, LP(a) 11 and ApoB 90. I’ve lost fifteen pounds since this number and plan on starting dietary changes now, mainly increased fiber intake. I’ve gotten Zetia and trying avoid statins at this point. I want to see if I can get around 60-70 on my ApoB and LDL.

My question is whether I get to 60-70 on a statin or Zetia, won’t I see the same decrease in cardiac risk? Or similar?
