GLP-1 drugs may slow biological aging, study suggests

Original: GLP-1 may slow biological aging

A new University of California study suggests that popular GLP-1 weight loss drugs, such as Ozempic and Wegovy, may do more than aid weight loss: they could slow biological aging. The research adds to growing evidence that the medications affect aging-related processes in the body, sparking discussion about their wider health benefits and what longer-term effects might look like.

Why now: New research from the University of California suggests GLP-1 drugs may have anti-aging effects, extending the debate over the medications beyond weight loss.
