Low-dose aspirin delays brain decline in elderly women at high heart disease and stroke risk, reported Swedish researchers. Tests of cognitive function included naming tests and word memory.
While low-dose aspirin has proven benefits in the prevention of heart disease and stroke, its effect on cognition and dementia have had contradictory findings. No effects on cognition were seen for aspirin use in healthy women, but another analysis suggested cognitive benefits among those with cardiovascular risks.
