We had a number of people who were over eighty years of age.
And as far as we could tell, there wasn't a really big difference between the impact of aspirin at any of these ages.
Look, we're not recommending this at this point.
People taking aspirin take it uh for three reasons.
I mean, some, of course, as you said, have had a heart attack or a stroke or something similar in the past and they should definitely be on aspirin because the evidence is strong.
And then there's others who've been put on aspirin by their doctors for a range of other reasons.
And they should continue as well, certainly not stop without getting advice from their doctor.
But then there's the third category who may have just decided of read somewhere, they're perfectly healthy, they think it's a good idea.
We know that it's much more common in the United States where
About forty percent of the people entering a spree had been taking aspirin in the past.
In Australia the number was quite a lot less, but it still adds up to many millions of people around the world.
John McNeil, thank you very much for joining us.
Thank you, Noah.
I think that's exactly right.
But the reason we published this paper is that the extent and the implications of living longer really haven't sunk in.
And I think this paper was designed to present in a very simple way what some of these implications are.
We basically simulated the experience of 100,000 men or women who were alive at age 20, and we examined how many of them have died by the age of 70.
That's death in middle age.
In 1960...
Well, it's comforting to me.
