Aspirin Showed No Dementia Benefit Overall, but Older Adults With One Genetic Platelet Profile Saw Lower Risk
Nature World News | 27.10.2026 04:10Daily aspirin did not prevent dementia in older adults overall, but people with one genetic profile tied to higher platelet counts had markedly lower dementia rates while taking it, according to a reanalysis of the ASPREE trial in Alzheimer's & Dementia. In that group, 1% of aspirin users developed dementia, compared with 3.3% of those on placebo.
