Meanwhile In a warning, experts are now recommending only patients between the ages of 40 and 59 should be prescribed daily aspirin due to the risk of internal bleeding in the over 60s.
The update was released by the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF).
Dr Michael Barry, vice chair of the organisation said: “Based on current evidence, the task force recommends against people 60 and older starting to take aspirin.”
Although the risk of internal bleeding only rises marginally with age Dr Barry added “the potential harms of aspirin use cancel out the benefits in this age group”.
