Description
ASPREE is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial investigating the effects of 100mg of daily low-dose aspirin in 19,114 healthy older adults, aged ≥70 years (≥65 years for US participants) at enrollment.
ASPREE-XT is an ongoing observational follow-up study to examine the long-term effects of aspirin on various health outcomes, including cancer, dementia, and physical disability. The study also seeks to identify other lifestyle, genetic, environmental, and health-related factors contributing to healthy aging.
