Aspirin is a well-established therapy for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular events. However, its role in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease is unclear, especially in older people, who are at increased risk. From 2010 to 2014, we enrolled community-living men and women in Australia and the United States who were 70 years of age or older (or ≥65 years of age among blacks and Hispanics in the United States) and had no cardiovascular disease, dementia, or disability . Participants were randomly assigned to receive either enteric-coated aspirin 100 mg or placebo. The primary end point was a compound of death, dementia, or persistent physical disability; The results of this endpoint are reported in another journal article. Secondary endpoints included major bleeding and cardiovascular disease (defined as fatal coronary heart disease, non-fatal myocardial infarction, fatal or non-fatal stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure).
