A total of 120 incident melanomas occurred during the ASPREE trial, of which 98 had no pre-trial (prevalent) melanoma. A total of 528 participants had self-reported prevalent melanoma at baseline. In total: 626 participants had melanoma. ASPREE = ASPirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly; CI = confidence interval; OR = odds ratio; PRS = polygenic risk score.
