GLP-1 agents, while costly and not yet guideline-endorsed for prevention, offer broader metabolic benefits without inherent bleeding risk
Similar findings were replicated in nearly 600,000 patients taking semaglutide for type 2 diabetes
In a study of over 17,000 people, semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist medication, was found to lower the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes by 20% in people who have pre-existing cardiovascular disease and who are overweight, but do not have Type 2 diabetes
Although chronic kidney disease and obesity-associated cancer (hepatic, renal, breast, prostate and colon) each accounted for 10% of obesity-related deaths, these conditions are associated with major disability and poorer quality of life [6]
the clinical proof is still emerging
