THE ASPREE PROJECT<\/span><\/h1>\n

Aspirin and Ageing Health Research<\/span><\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_text_color=”#ffffff” text_font_size=”20px” module_alignment=”center” text_font_size_tablet=”18px” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Populations around the world are ageing. The ASPREE project is a long-term multi-centre, bi-national study of aspirin and health in older adults, with the purpose to discover ways to maintain health, quality of life and independence as we age.<\/p>\n

This landmark research has two components:<\/p>\n

1) ASPREE (ASPirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly), a randomised, blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial of low-dose (100mg) aspirin in healthy older adults. The trial’s ground-breaking findings underpin revised international aspirin prescribing guidelines.<\/p>\n

2) ASPREE-XT (ASPREE \u2013 eXTension) study, an ongoing, follow-up observational health study to investigate long-lasting effects of low-dose aspirin on disease, such as cancer. Additionally, it investigates a broad range of factors that contribute to the maintenance of physical and cognitive health in older adults.<\/p>\n

Findings from the ASPREE project advance the care and wellbeing of ageing adults around the world.<\/p>\n
