However, the study found compared to the placebo group:
-
Participants treated with semaglutide exhibited a broad pattern of slower biological aging across epigenetic clocks linked to inflammation and blood, brain, heart, kidney, liver and metabolic health.
-
The drug slowed the pace of biological aging by 9 %, as measured by the DunedinPACE epigenetic clock.
-
The drug significantly slowed biological processes associated with the risk of all‑cause mortality and age-related disease, as measured by the PCGrimAgeepigenetic clock.
It's just that the study focused on people with a particular condition so it takes more studies to know if it affects the general population similarly.
