Use of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and Their Link to Frailty and Falls in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes

Updated

Abstract

The study evaluates the relationship between starting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and frailty progression compared to dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors.

  • Initiating glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists may be linked to changes in frailty status over time.
  • The impact on frailty progression may differ based on the initial level of frailty.
  • The comparison includes assessing the incidence of falls associated with each medication type.
