Survival and ongoing treatment in older adults with type 2 diabetes taking gliflozins or incretin drugs

Updated

Abstract

Evidence supporting the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) in individuals aged 80 years and older remains limited.

  • Limited data exist on treatment persistence of SGLT2i and GLP1-RA in older adults.
  • Real-world outcomes for these medications in individuals aged 80 and above are not well established.
  • The effectiveness and safety of SGLT2i and GLP1-RA in this age group require further investigation.
