We are looking at whether two FDA-approved medications, semaglutide and dapagliflozin, may help people stay healthier as they age. Researchers want to learn if these medications can help maintain strength, physical function, and overall health in adults ages 60 to 75. The information collected will also help researchers better understand how aging affects the body over time.
