An aspirin a day…?

A study called Aspirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly (ASPREE) has been getting a lot of coverage lately, we will explore this topic through a CNN article titled With daily low-dose aspirin use, risks may outweigh benefits for older adults. This video provides background information on aging and aspirin. It also discusses the impacts and reliability of the ASPREE study.

This video was made by McMaster Demystifying Medicine students Nicole Liu, Zoe Mackintosh, Aaron Hayat Imran and Leena AlShenaiber.
