BBC News: "Aspirin warning for over 75s"

This BBC news headline refers to a new study looking at the side effects of aspirin in people of different ages taking it over a number of years. A rare side effect is internal bleeding.

They also confirmed that, in the under 75s, few people experience bleeding.
