Aspirin a day may push death away, says new study aspirin / 'æsprɪn / n. 阿司匹林 TEM4 stir /stɝ/ v 搅拌；激起 CET4 cardiovascular / ,kɑrdɪo'væskjəlɚ / adj. [解剖] 心血管的 colon / 'kolən / n.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force published a final recommendation statement on Monday saying that taking an aspirin a day might help prevent cardiovascular disease and colon cancer. The task force found that people ages 50 to 59 who have an increased risk for cardiovascular disease can lower their risk for heart attacks, stroke and colon cancer by taking an aspirin a day. They also found that those aged 60 to 69 can benefit as well, but should discuss the treatment with their health care provider first. They concluded there is not enough evidence to determine the benefits and harms of aspirin use in people younger than 50 or older than 69.
