GLP-1 research at a major aging conference — a concise preview of industry presentations exploring biological‑age biomarkers and modeled lifespan effects.

Lilly and Novo share GLP-1 longevity data
Key Takeaways
  • Novo presented semaglutide cohort modeling that projected an average remaining life-year gain of 1.9 years across age groups.
  • Lilly reported epigenetic sub-study results where multiple methylation clocks indicated less biological aging over 72 weeks.
  • Both companies emphasized early, caveated findings and the need for larger controlled trials to validate longevity claims.
