GLP-1 Drugs May Reduce Violence Risk
from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
New research from Rutgers suggests GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy might be more than just appetite suppressants—scientists found a surprising link between these medications and reduced violent behavior, possibly by dampening impulsive actions. The study, analyzing data from over 7,000 adults, showed a weakened connection between impulsivity and violence among current users. While not proof of causation, the findings spark important questions about how these widely used drugs could subtly influence behavior—and what that means for public safety as their use grows.
