GLP-1s Reduce Dementia Risk

GLP-1 receptor agonists reduce dementia risk by 45%, unlike other glucose-lowering drugs.
This effect is independent of general blood sugar control or weight loss benefits.

INSIGHT

GLP-1 Brain Protection Mechanisms

GLP-1s may protect the brain by reducing inflammation and cell death.
They have antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effects at the neuronal level.
