Walking for transport at least once a week may help some older people live longer: ASPREE study
A new analysis of ASPREE data found that older adults who walked for transport instead of taking a car, at least once a week, lived longer than those who didn’t. This observational study in older adults looked at transport-related walking, which is walking for a specific purpose, such as to a medical appointment or to shop, instead of using motorised transport. Researchers found walking for transport at least once a week linked to a 25% lower risk of mortality compared to those who never walked for transport purposes.

A new analysis of ASPREE trial data has found that prolonged daily aspirin use increases the risk of anaemia in some older adults. Findings from ASPREE-Anaemia, a sub-study of the ASPREE trial, may help GPs identify older patients at higher risk of anaemia and who may benefit from regular monitoring for development of the condition.
