The effect of low-dose aspirin on colorectal cancer prevention and gastrointestinal bleeding according to bodyweight and body mass index: Analysis of UK primary care data

Meta-analysis of trial data suggests that in primary cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention bodyweight modifies low-dose aspirin's effects on colorectal cancer (CRC) and major bleeding. We sought to investigate whether these effects are seen in patients with or without CVD in routine clinical practice by undertaking sub-analyses of data from two cohort studies with nested-case-control analyses.
