When I took metformin, supposedly to live longer?

当我服用二甲双胍时， 据说可以活得更久？

I've decided to stay away from metformin and rapamycin.

我决定远离二甲双胍和雷帕霉素。

Not surprisingly, metformin is also used off-label, probably more widely than rapamycin.

毫不奇怪，二甲双胍也被用于标签外，可能比雷帕霉素更广泛。

I'll just be very direct and say I do not take metformin.

我会非常直接地说我不服用二甲双胍。

One is metformin, which has been approved for use against type-2 diabetes; another is rapamycin, an immunosuppressant used in organ transplants.

其中之一是二甲双胍，已被批准用于治疗 2 型糖尿病；另一种是雷帕霉素，一种用于器官移植的免疫抑制剂。

The Targeting Ageing with Metformin (tame) trial will see if metformin helps prevent cardiovascular disease, cancer and cognitive decline; it will also test the hypothesis that it reduces all-cause mortality.

二甲双胍（tame）靶向衰老试验将观察二甲双胍是否有助于预防心血管疾病、癌症和认知能力下降；它还将检验它降低全因死亡率的假设。

It's important to understand however that all of this is new research and that these products are not interchangeable with that being said, one of these products is metformin, an FDA-approved drug that treats type 2 diabetes.

然而，重要的是要明白，所有这些都是新的研究，这些产品也不能代替其中的某个产品，这些产品之一是二甲双胍，经美国食品及药物管理局批准的治疗2型糖尿病的药物。

A study published in 2014 showed that diabetes patients treated with metformin enjoyed a decreased mortality rate, not just compared with patients who were not treated with it, but also with healthy controls who were not given the drug.

2014 年发表的一项研究表明，接受二甲双胍治疗的糖尿病患者的死亡率不仅与未接受二甲双胍治疗的患者相比，而且与未接受该药物的健康对照组相比也有所降低。
