THE ASPREE Clinical Trial (completed)<\/h2>\n

The largest primary prevention aspirin trial in 19,114 healthy older adults.<\/h3>\n

This \u2018gold standard\u2019 trial \u2013 randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled trial of daily low-dose aspirin (100mg) \u2013 provided the first evidence that an aspirin a day does not prolong years of good health for ‘healthy’ older adults (those without cardiovascular disease, dementia or significant physical disability.)<\/p>\n

ASPREE was the first preventive trial to consider the effect of aspirin on disability-free life in healthy adults, aged mostly 70+ years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

THE ASPREE-XT (eXTension) follow-up study (current)<\/h2>\n

The first follow-up study into long lasting effects of aspirin on health and other factors affecting healthy aging.<\/h3>\n

ASPREE and the follow-up ASPREE-XT study will determine for the first time, aspirin\u2019s short term and longer term effects on cancer, dementia and physical disability.\u00a0\u00a0ASPREE-XT will also investigate factors, such as those related to lifestyle, health behaviour, environment, genes and many others, that may be predictors of good health and longevity or predisposition to age-related diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n
