Starting with the good news, GLP-1s lowered risks for 42 health outcomes while increasing risks for 19 outcomes. GLP-1s also led to an 8% lower risk of dementia and 12% lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease. That said, it could serve as an early look into the long-term health outcomes of using GLP-1s to treat obesity and T2D.
