What this study is about
This study is a prospective, randomized, open-label clinical trial enrolling 66 adults with simple obesity who have not used weight-loss medications for at least 3 months. Participants will receive semaglutide, tirzepatide, or metformin for 24 weeks. Changes in "biological (epigenetic) age" will be assessed using the iWatchAge DNA methylation age test, while simultaneously monitoring improvements in aging-related biomarkers such as inflammatory factors, metabolic parameters, and body composition. The aim is to determine whether incretin-based therapies can reverse or slow obesity-related accelerated epigenetic aging and to provide new clinical evidence for interventions targeting obesity and aging.

Treatments and study arms
Semaglutide
Semaglutide administered once weekly by subcutaneous injection.Dose titrated from 0.25 mg to 2.0 mg as tolerated over 24 weeks
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide administered once weekly by subcutaneous injection. Dose titrated from 2.5 mg to 10 mg as tolerated over 24 weeks
Metformin
Metformin administered orally. Dose titrated from 500 mg to 1500-2000 mg daily, based on tolerance, for 24 weeks
Primary outcomes
Change in epigenetic biological age from baseline to Week 24, measured using the iWatchAge DNA methylation assay. This outcome reflects whether semaglutide, tirzepatide, or metformin can delay or reverse obesity-associated accelerated epigenetic aging.
