  1. GLP-1RA comparative effectiveness against dementia onset relative to other antidiabetic medications in a large, multi-site cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2025-09-01 Drug development

    Rigorous causal inference analysis suggests that sustained exposure to GLP-1RA may modestly reduce risk of dementia, compared to DPP4i or SU exposure-but not compared to SGLT2i. Highlights We researched the comparative effects of diabetes medications on dementia.

  2. Effects of antidiabetic medications on the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus and cognitive impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Ageing research reviews 2025-07-12 Drug development

    Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)-related cognitive impairment (CI) has garnered increasing attention in recent research and is emerging as a highly relevant area of study.

  3. New-generation antidiabetic medications and dementia risk in older adults with type 2 diabetes: A retrospective cohort study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 78 out of 100. The journal of prevention of Alzheimer's disease 2025-05-08 Drug development

    The results of this large-scale study suggest that new-generation antidiabetic medication use may be associated with lower dementia risk in older adults with T2D.

  4. The association of antidiabetic medications and Mini-Mental State Examination scores in patients with diabetes and dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2021-12-02 Drug development

    In this large cohort of patients with diabetes and dementia, the use of metformin and DPP-4i was associated with a slower decline in MMSE scores.
