GLP-1 weight loss drugs may slow biological aging

Original: GLP-1 may slow biological aging

A new University of California study suggests GLP-1 drugs, the class behind popular weight loss medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy, may do more than shed pounds: they could slow biological aging. Researchers report the drugs appear to affect markers of aging at the cellular level, fueling debate about whether obesity medications could double as longevity treatments.

Why now: GLP-1 drugs are already hugely popular, and the prospect they may extend healthy lifespan makes the findings widely discussed
