Sample questions to ask the doctor

Profile: a healthy 72-year-old.

“The big trials at my age found more bleeding than benefit from daily aspirin — is there newer evidence, or a reason specific to me, that changes the equation?”

You

Healthy, 72, no prior heart attack.

You were told

“Whether to start daily aspirin at your age is a delicate balance — pros and cons to weigh.”

The evidence

  • USPSTF (2022) recommends against aspirin for healthy adults 60+.
  • ASPREE (NEJM 2018): no net benefit, more bleeding in 70+.

“Does a daily vitamin D supplement actually lower my risk of falls or fractures? I’ve read USPSTF recommends against it for healthy older adults.”

You

Healthy, 72, lives independently.

You were told

“A daily vitamin D supplement is a sensible step to help prevent falls.”

The evidence

  • USPSTF recommends against vitamin D to prevent falls in healthy adults 60+.
  • Sanders 2010 (JAMA): a high annual dose increased falls and fractures.
