GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and Noncardiometabolic Outcomes: An Umbrella Review of Meta-Analyses.
GLP-1 drugs used for weight loss appear to offer benefits across multiple organ systems beyond heart and metabolic health, expanding their potential clinical value.
An umbrella review in JAMA Network Open synthesized meta-analytic evidence on GLP-1 receptor agonists' effects beyond cardiometabolic endpoints. The findings map a wide landscape of potential benefits across organ systems, informing clinical decision-making and research priorities.
