Oh dear. I had high hopes for Evoke. I was involved with the ELAD trial of liraglutide, which was negative overall but with some tantalising suggestions there could be some benefit on the secondary outcomes. This result is a bit of a blow.

“Slower cognitive decline is linked to lower dementia risk. These findings add to evidence suggesting that quitting smoking might be a preventative strategy for the disease. However, further research will be needed that specifically examines dementia to confirm this.” www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2025/oc...

Quitting smoking, even late in life, linked to slower cognitive decline

Quitting smoking in middle age or later is linked to slower age-related cognitive decline over the long term, according to a new study by UCL researchers.

Lowther Hill has the highest tarmac road in #Scotland- closed to traffic, but you can #cycle up. The forecast yesterday was pretty good- but the road disappeared into fog at about 500m. Then, only about 30m below the top, I broke out into brilliant sunshine. Amazing- best day on the bike this year!
