Older women taking regular low-dose aspirin could stave off serious illness such as cancer and heart disease, doctors claim.
The tipping point is age 65, according to research, because younger women may be harmed by regular aspirin use.
The study involving almost 30,000 healthy women who were at least 45 is the biggest to tackle the issue of whether the pros of taking aspirin are outweighed by the cons in women.
The new findings, published online in journal Heart, suggest the balance begins to shift with increasing age and women aged 65 and above are better off taking low-dose pills than not taking aspirin at all, the researchers said.
