Ozempic could delay ageing, researchers suggest (opens in new tab)

Im not questioning the quoted studies in any way but its either my language barrier or BBC has built a clickbaity title based on just one quote “ It wouldn't surprise me that improving people's health this way actually slows down the ageing process” Wonder what would they write had he said “it wouldn’t surprise me if people get blue skin and tiny horns…”

> The studies - part of the Select trial - tracked more than 17,600 people, aged 45 or older, as they were given either 2.4 mg of semaglutide or a placebo for more than three years. Participants were obese or overweight and had cardiovascular disease but not diabetes.

Exciting stuff. What does data look like in people that aren’t obese?

reducing weight is positively correlated with improved health outcomes in every respect

These articles are really dangerous and similar research stating such global implications when many starting points are...

"Participants were obese or overweight and had cardiovascular disease but not diabetes."

Stay fit and be active.

it's been shown that metformin reduced all-cause mortality, so this isn't surprising.

Is this due to the drug itself or due to eating less?

Another tip is to stay out of the sun.
