Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlation between taking aspirin and the first attack of cerebral infarction in senile patients. Methods: One hundred in-patients over 60 years old having aspirin 50～100 mg/d for more than 6 months were taken randomly as aspirin group. 34 of them had first attack of cerebral infarction. Another one hundred in-patients of the similar ages without aspirin were taken randomly for control and 57 of them suffered from the first attack of cerebral infarction. The morbidity and degree of severity between the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results: The incidence of the first attack of cerebral infarction in aspirin group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( P ＜0.01), and the severity in aspirin group was less than that in the control group. Taking Aspirin 75～100 mg/d was more effective. Conclusion: Aspirin can reduce the incidence of the first attack of cerebral infarction and degrade its severity in senile patients. As a first-order prophylactic for cerebral infarction in the aged, it may be of great clinic value.
