Researchers from Texas A&M University College of Medicine found that 10 weeks of metformin treatment on animal models, starting in late middle age, was sufficient to maintain better cognitive and memory function in old age, thus helping prevent age-related cognitive problems. These findings, published in the journal Aging Cell, show potential evidence for metformin to be used as an anti-aging drug in the non-diabetic population.
