Scientists have found new evidence that Ozempic-like drugs can help reverse aging — yet another health benefit added to the laundry list of off-label usages for the popular diabetes jab.

In a new, not-yet-peer-reviewed paper, research led by scientist Varun Dwaraka of the TruDiagnostic aging lab in Kentucky suggests that once-weekly shots of semaglutide, the GLP-1 drug in Ozempic and its weight loss sister drug Wegovy, can reduce one's "biological age" by up to three years.

The basis of this study, like some others that look into anti-aging properties, is what's known as "biological age." As opposed to chronological age, which is how old we are in years, your biological age is basically how old your body feels — and using certain tools, researchers like Dwaraka say they can measure that.
