 Obesity drug mazdutide reduces weight and waist size in major trial
 
Obesity drug mazdutide reduces weight and waist size in major trialOnce-weekly 9 mg mazdutide produced clinically meaningful weight loss in Chinese adults with obesity, reducing body weight by 16.65% after 60 weeks versus 1.50% with placebo. The phase 3 GLORY-2 trial also found improvements in waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, and lipid markers, but gastrointestinal adverse events were common.

 Statins may help prevent frailty in older adults
 
Researchers at Mass General Brigham have demonstrated that older U.S. veterans who initiated statin therapy were significantly less likely to develop frailty over time, suggesting that the cholesterol-lowering medications may have healthy aging benefits beyond cardiovascular disease prevention. Results are published in the European Heart Journal.
