Prospective Study of Aspirin Use and Risk of Stroke in Women
Stroke 30:1764-1771, Iso,H.,et al, 1999
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
These propective data indicate that women who take 1 to 6 aspirin per week have a reduced risk of large-artery occlusive infarction, but those who use 15 or more aspirin per week have an increased risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage. This ob servational study suggests benefits of aspirin for ischemic stroke with low frequency of use and hazards for hemorrhagic stroke with high frequency of use, particularly among older or hypertensive women. Thus, the effect on total stroke will depend on th e dose of aspirin and the distribution of stroke subtypes and risk factors in the population.
