New research found that taking low-dose aspirin may be able to significantly lower the risk of developing dementia (by up to 70 percent) for people with a specific genetic profile (related to so-called platelets or thrombocytes), but may have no overall protective effect, hence it is not generally recommended. More research is needed.
