Cardioprotective glucose-lowering agents and dementia risk

JAMA Network
Peer-Reviewed Publication

About The Study: While cardioprotective glucose-lowering therapies were not associated with an overall reduction in all-cause dementia, this meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials found that glucose lowering with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) was associated with a statistically significant reduction in all-cause dementia.

GLP-1RA and SGLT2i medications for type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer disease and related dementias

JAMA Network
Peer-Reviewed Publication

About The Study: In people with type 2 diabetes, both glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) were statistically significantly associated with decreased risk of Alzheimer disease and related dementias compared with other glucose-lowering drugs, and no difference was observed between both drugs.
