The benefit of GLP-1RA in different age groups in the cardiovascular outcome trials.

ABSTRACT

There may be hesitancy in prescribing GLP-1RA in older adults. On pooling results from the CVOTs comparing GLP-1RA to placebo, there was a significantly lower incidence of MACE favoring GLP-1RA in both younger and older adults. GLP-1RA should be considered in high risk patients regardless of age.
