Aspirin may lower risk of asthma

A study conducted by The Physicians' Health Study found that taking low-dose aspirin every other day lowers the risk of being diagnosed with asthma by 22 percent.
The study dealt with 22,071 healthy male physicians from the ages 40 to 84, 11,037 who were given low-dose aspirin. After a period of five years, 113 physicians were diagnosed with asthma in the aspirin group, whereas 145 in the placebo group. The researchers stated that the 22-percent lower risk did not alter with participant characteristics, like age or BMI.
The researchers note that these results can only prove that aspirin reduces asthma development in adults, and not improve symptoms in asthma patients.
