Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, offers a new therapeutic approach for preventing or slowing dementia progression. Administering semaglutide to individuals with metabolic syndrome or other conditions associated with increased dementia risk, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or obesity, has been shown to reduce the risk of dementia in clinical trials. The treatment's mechanism of action involves modulating metabolic pathways to improve cognitive function and reduce inflammation, with potential benefits extending to other conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
