Longevity / SOURCE BRIEF
Aging research.
Keep the context.
What to know
NIH reports that semaglutide improved several measures of aging and extended lifespan in older female mice. Researchers also compared its effects with calorie restriction.
Keep this in mind
This was research in mice. It does not establish that GLP-1 medicines extend human life, or justify using them for that purpose.
A question to carry with you
When you read a longevity headline, was the research done in people—and did it measure the outcome the headline suggests?
