Aspirin Shows Significant Colorectal Cancer Prevention in Unhealthy Lifestyles

New research highlights aspirin's enhanced protective effect for smokers, the overweight, and those with poor diets.

Study tracked over 100,000 healthcare professionals for more than 30 years.
Unhealthy individuals saw a 1.28% reduction in absolute risk of colorectal cancer with regular aspirin use.
Healthy individuals experienced a much smaller benefit at 0.11% risk reduction.
The findings suggest aspirin may be a valuable tool for those unable to adopt healthier habits.
Researchers caution that aspirin use should be discussed with healthcare providers due to potential side effects.
