And that could be risky for their health
But many Americans don’t seem to realize that. Indeed, according to a new study of more than 14,000 adults published Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine: “Aspirin use in the United States is widespread among groups at risk for harm.”
This is problematic because guidelines released in 2019 from the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association, based on multiple studies, now say that “low-dose aspirin ‘should rarely be used’ to prevent heart attacks and stroke in people over 70 or without known cardiovascular disease,” as MarketWatch reported earlier this year. The reason: multiple studies showed that the risks of taking aspirin, like internal bleeding, may outweigh the benefits in these groups.
Who should take daily aspirin? If you’ve already had a heart attack or a stroke or a bypass procedure, have a stent or have been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease, and your doctor says you should take daily low-dose aspirin, continue to do so, according to the American Heart Association. If you fall into one of these categories and don’t take daily aspirin, it’s important to consult with a doctor before you begin taking it.
