After four years, those who took GLP-1 drugs had a 7% lower risk of developing an obesity-related cancer and an 8% lower risk of death from any cause compared to those who took the other type of diabetes drug. There were 2,501 new cases of obesity-related cancer in the GLP-1 group compared to 2,671 cases in the other group.The effect was evident in women, but not statistically significant in men.

Jiang, who went to high school in the United Kingdom and earned her undergraduate degree at Duke University, said there should be more, not fewer, academic exchanges between China and the United States.“Humanity is facing a lot of crisis,” she said. “There are conflicts.

They have to work with each other to be able to combat the problems or the issues that affect every single human being.”
