Abstract
Sex specific findings: “I like to say you have to make the recommendation about aspirin one
patient at a time,” Dr. Michael L. LeFevre, who was not linked to the study, told Reuters Health.
LeFevre worked on the 2009 aspirin recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task
Force (USPSTF). The task force advises that women age 55 to 79 take aspirin to reduce stroke
risk, as long as the benefit outweighs the risk of bleeding. The study was supported by aspirin-
maker Bayer AG.
