Drugmakers say weight-loss drugs may slow biological aging
Original: Weight-loss drugs show signs of slowing biological aging, say drugmakers
Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk report that GLP-1 weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy appear to slow biological aging, based on epigenetic aging clocks. The claim, covered by MIT Technology Review, has drawn attention because it suggests the drugs' benefits may extend well beyond weight loss and diabetes treatment into longevity science, while experts caution the evidence is still early.
Why now: New drugmaker claims that widely used GLP-1 drugs could slow aging tap into huge public interest in longevity treatments.
