Beyond glycemic control: Sex differences shaping glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist utilization in the United States
This study confirms the increasing utilization of GLP-1RAs in the United States, particularly among women. Although type 2 diabetes remains the primary predictor of GLP-1RA use, obesity has emerged as a key associated factor, especially among women. The stronger associations observed in women with obesity and depression highlight the role of clinical and psychosocial factors, which underscores the need for sex-sensitive approaches in obesity and diabetes management.
