New study suggests GLP-1 weight loss drugs may slow biological aging by reprogramming cells

• GLP-1 weight loss drugs may slow biological aging by reprogramming cells and reducing inflammation
• Study found 42% of HIV patients with liver disease showed slowed aging after 24 weeks
• Researchers plan larger trials to confirm effects and explore combination with diet/exercise
• GLP-1s also help reduce fat that causes inflammation and chronic disease risks
