The researchers conducted magnetic resonance imaging brain scans of a population-based sample of 1062 dementia-free individuals aged 60 years or older. Participants' use of anticlotting drugs, including platelet aggregation inhibitors (specifically, aspirin and carbasalate calcium, a salicylate with a lower risk of gastrointestinal tract bleeding than aspirin), was determined from pharmacy records.
