Aspirin effects different for women

The recent revealing of a 10-year long study of 40,000 women has shown that aspirin does not have the same positive affects on women as on men. Aspirin was thought to reduce the risk of heart attacks in both men and women, but this study shows that aspirin does not reduce the risk for women under age 65. Although it was found that for these middle-aged women aspirin does reduce the risk of having a stroke. Overall, the study found that it may not be very beneficial for middle and younger aged women to take aspirin to reduce these risks, but for older women it is very beneficial and has great benefits.
