<\/p>\n

Semaglutide\u2014the diabetes and weight-loss drug known by brand names like Ozempic and Wegovy\u2014is continuing to show its potential to treat a wide range of other conditions. <\/p>\n

\n

While recent studies have revealed that these drugs may help stop opioid addiction, smoking, and even help people live longer, a new study published in the journal Alzheimer\u2019s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer\u2019s Association<\/em> now also links semaglutide to a decreased risk of Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n

In the study, researchers at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine analyzed three years of electronic records of nearly one million Americans with type 2 diabetes. They compared patients using semaglutide programs\u2014a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist\u2014to those prescribed one of seven other anti-diabetic drugs, including metformin, dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i), and other GLP-1RAs (which mimic the effects of GLP-1s). Patients prescribed semaglutide had a 40% to 70% reduced risk of first-time Alzheimer\u2019s diagnosis, compared to other antidiabetic medications.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe result is what we expected,\u201d Rong Xu, biomedical informatics professor at Case Western Reserve University and lead researcher on the study, tells Fortune.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Given other studies that show semaglutide can help\u00a0reduce inflammation\u00a0in the body,\u00a0prevent neuron damage, promote\u00a0weight loss, control\u00a0diabetes, and prevent\u00a0cardiovascular disease\u2014in addition to helping curb the urge to smoke and drink\u2014Xu says the drug is already lowering risk factors for Alzheimer\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we can target these risk factors\u2026semaglutide can be beneficial in preventing or slowing down Alzheimer\u2019s disease symptoms or development,\u201d Xu says.<\/p>\n

Xu makes it clear that this study wasn\u2019t meant to examine whether semaglutide lowers the risk for Alzheimer\u2019s in people without diabetes.<\/p>\n

\u201cDiabetes itself is a risk factor [for Alzheimer\u2019s],\u201d she says. Because of that, Xu and her team wanted to see if people at heightened risk\u2014those who have diabetes\u2014would have better outcomes with semaglutide versus other diabetes medications.<\/p>\n

Researchers can\u2019t say that semaglutide does lower Alzheimer\u2019s risk, only that there is a link. More research is needed.<\/p>\n

But Xu is also optimistic for what these study findings might mean for people currently diagnosed with Alzheimer\u2019s. She\u2019d like to see if semaglutide could improve outcomes or have a therapeutic effect on those currently managing Alzheimer\u2019s symptoms.<\/p>\n
