Older people who take a low-dose aspirin daily may be 20 percent more likely to develop anemia than those who do not, according to research published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.
The research finding stems from the re-analysis of data from a study involving 19,114 people, most 70 or older, who did not have anemia and were generally healthy. They had been randomly assigned to take either 100 milligrams of aspirin or a placebo daily for about five years.
The researchers wrote that their findings suggest that “periodic monitoring of hemoglobin should be considered in older persons on aspirin” to guard against the development of iron-deficiency anemia.
