GLP-1 Safety for Elderly Weight Loss
The rates of obesity among older adults have increased significantly between 1988-1994 and 2015-2018, with nearly two out of every five of them now being obese based on the body mass index. Studies show that medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, from the GLP-1 class, help achieve weight loss of about 15-23% in older adults, similar to the results seen in younger people. However, the evidence remains limited due to the small number of participants in studies and concerns about muscle mass loss and side effects. Medical professionals advise caution and close medical monitoring, along with following a healthy diet and engaging in resistance exercises when using these medications.
