Study Summary:

The study referred to in the comments compared patients taking GLP-1RAs such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide (Ozempic and Mounjaro) to those on other antidiabetic drugs. The analysis revealed a significantly lower chance of developing neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular diseases among those on GLP-1RAs. However, no relevant difference was shown for intracerebral hemorrhage or Parkinson's disease. The benefits were most pronounced in those aged 60 or older, women, and those with a BMI of 30 to 40.
