Any study which uses epigenetic clocks can be discarded. There is to my knowledge no test which produces reliably measurements which don't have big error bars. The only conclusion this study can really make is: Ozempic changes the 'thing' which the epigenetic clock test also measured.




it does seem that there is no reliable connection with "epigenetic clocks" where people are shown to be dying at the same bio age, regardless of calender age......all of the mortality estimating calculations rely on many "factors", so the "ozempic" effects will be just part of a puzzle, where I will bet anything that attitude, demenour, , basic personal conduct will weigh in as the hinge pins that everything else pivots around..........stress, and how that is delt with, and anyone who thinks that one compound is going to reset the whole clock on a complex organism is kidding themselves, which if done right, works ;) so....it's all for the good
