Aspirin may reduce the risk of infarction and cancer. The working group recommends taking aspirin as an early prevention method for people aged 50-69 who have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease without bleeding and other symptoms.
According to the report, the above research results have been published in the latest issue of the American annals of internal medicine. According to experts from the US prevention service working group, taking aspirin (70mg-81mg) daily may be the most effective prevention method for high-risk diseases in the age group of 50-69 years old people who are free from internal bleeding and other diseases.
In addition, for most people who start taking aspirin regularly from the age of 40 to 69, the drug can improve their quality of life, reduce the impact of disease and increase their life span.
However, for those at lower risk, the potential harm of aspirin may outweigh the benefits.
The U.S. Preventive Services Working Group points out that some people who take aspirin have severe gastrointestinal bleeding and cerebral hemorrhage.
In addition, more studies are needed to assess the effectiveness of aspirin in disease prevention among people under 50 and over 70 years of age, the experts said.
