An aspirin a day isn't good for heart health. It can lead to internal bleeding, warn experts
|
Overview
Millions of elderlies take aspirin daily, and not always because of a doctor's recommendation.
For three decades, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, an independent and influential panel of experts, has been reviewing the growing evidence of aspirin use for preventing first heart attacks and strokes. Last month, it issued its latest recommendations on aspirin use, the first in six years. The panel warned adults older than 60 against starting an aspirin regimen for primary prevention.
