NCT ID NCT05768945
Summary
This study looked at whether a specific diabetes medication (semaglutide) might help prevent dementia compared to other common diabetes drugs.

The goal was to see if one type of medication was linked to a lower risk of developing Alzheimer's or other dementias over time.
