☆ Weight-loss drugs could stave off dementia, small study finds
  + stars: | 2024-07-30 | by ( Hilary Brueck | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Today, a group of dementia researchers from the UK released some early results that suggest it's possible these trendy injections might also stall the progression of dementia. A daily injection for brain preservationIuliia Burmistrova/Getty ImagesFor the study, researchers spent a year tracking brain changes across 204 Alzheimer's patients with mild to moderate disease. "It sounds like it is worth pursuing a larger trial, but these results cannot demonstrate that liraglutide can protect against dementia." Experts have seen how dementia patients' brains get worse and worse at efficiently using glucose for energy as their disease progresses, but the calculus is always complicated. Bigger studies using more powerful GLP-1 drugs for dementia are already ongoing.
