Didn't even bother looking into it because there's obviously not enough data yet to say anything substantial about GLP-1s and Alzheimers. But your comment shoul

Didn't even bother looking into it because there's obviously not enough data yet to say anything substantial about GLP-1s and Alzheimers. But your comment should probably be the top.
- rogerrogerr 2mo agoI’m not an expert on this, but haven’t GLP-1’s been used for quite a while on more limited scopes? So maybe there’s a cohort of people that could approach statistical significance.
- toast0 2mo agoIIRC, mostly used to help with type 2 diabetes... But effects on that cohort may not generalize to the general population.
- Muskwalker 2mo agoThis particular study was done on people without diabetes, at least.
- danielmarkbruce 2mo agoGLP-1s have been used for over 20 years. There likely is enough data to say something, even if it's not water tight.
- akiselev 2mo agoThey've been used for over 20 years but until they became a weight loss drug recently, almost all of the research was on diabetics which introduces two confounding factors: diabetes and the diets diabetics already have to follow to manage the disease. It's hard to draw any conclusions when the results are muddied by those two factors.
