An update on the ASPREE Study will be held in Bendigo on Thursday 6 December, conducted by ASPREE representative Sharyn Fitzgerald. The workshop is at Mercy St, Bendigo at 12 noon.

This is Australia’s largest ever clinical trial, with participants 70 years and older being recruited from large cities and regional areas such as Ballarat, Bendigo, Launceston, Shepparton, Latrobe Valley, Wodonga and Warrnambool.

The aim of the seven year trial is to answer the question: Should all healthy older people be taking aspirin to prevent disease or do the side-effects of aspirin outweigh its benefits?

More information about the workshop is in the attached flyer, while further details on the study are available.
