And if you don’t have HIV?

It says 42% of treatment group showed slower aging, and reduction in telomere length... is there an effect size published anywhere?

I'd be more suspicious of what side effects this thing has.

you already feel it. we live in a chaotic world which is a consequence of people, especially those with power, live longer than their predecessors.

>They also reduce visceral and ectopic fat that accumulates around the abdomen and organs, which may help curb the inflammatory and metabolic signals that promote aging.

Interesting, I wonder if someone will do a study where they pair a GLP-1 with tesamorelin to see if there's any synergy there in terms of fat reduction and reduced aging.

If the DunedinPACE test is so accurate and cheap now, there must be hundreds of people that have a baseline and also measurements after taking GLP’s… also why do you need a double blind if you have this amazing biological ageing test?

I have never seen a user name better fit a hacker news comment.

This also perfectly sums up the whole emotional roller coaster of modern science communication.Oh that could be cool (title)... Hey this might be good work... Fuck thats depressing I will never get this time back.

ok, Elon musk should take this, he's fat like a hog, and I;m sure he wants to live undead

but what about the people with a BMI already under 20?

not like we can take GLP-1 even if it was affordable

btw soluble fiber helps people naturally secrete more GLP-1 but of course not on the same level as a dedicated drug

Isn't being "underweight" generally shown to reduce the speed of aging
