GLP-1s can be amazing...for some patients. But, how do researchers, payers, clinicians, and patients know if they are right for them? Would certain patient populations be better suited for a different drug or for a procedure? Or perhaps both? Join panelists as they explore the use of data, technology, and experience to start answering questions around personalized treatment pathways in obesity.

In JAMA, Journal of the American Medical Association, physicians from Stanford and Mass General Hospital emphasize the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between lean and fat during weight loss. “Excessive loss of lean muscle mass can cause sarcopenic obesity, which is associated with functional decline and increased mortality. As such, while visceral fat loss is beneficial, it should be accompanied by preservation of or an increase in muscle mass for ideal health outcomes.” BioAge’s lead compound azelaprag is an oral drug with the potential to significantly increase weight loss and improve body composition in patients on incretin therapy for obesity. https://lnkd.in/gv2_QFYe

According to a study published in Diabetes Care, a journal of the American Diabetes Association, pancreas size can better predict disease progression of type 1 diabetes than MRI imaging or glucose testing alone. “If we can better predict the progression to stage 3, our hope is that we can better identify and apply therapies to slow or even stop the advance of the disease, even before diagnosis,” said lead author Jack Virostko, PhD and assistant professor of Diagnostic Medicine in the Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin.
