A new study shows that, worldwide, only 40% of eligible patients are taking daily aspirin to prevent a second heart attack or stroke. Grouped by per-capita income, the data show that aspirin use is even lower in lower-income countries. The World Health Organization has set a goal of having at least 50% of all eligible people taking daily aspirin by 2025. Graphic by Mike Worful/Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis
