I know which one I would rather die from. It isn’t cancer.
Well the worseness has to be counteracted by how likely it is. A 38% increase in something quite rare (brain bleeds) is nowhere near as impactful as a 20% reduction in cancer, which is much more common.
From 0.8% of people averaging 70 years of age to 1.1%. I’ll take those odds, cancer is hell.
Note that the patients in the meta-analysis already had cancer.
