Is GLP-1 medication commonly prescribed for older adults, or is it mostly used by younger patients?

It's prescribed across a wide age range, though providers may weigh additional considerations for older adults, like existing muscle mass, kidney function, and other medications, more closely given age-related factors. It's not primarily a younger-patient medication. Clinical trials and real-world use span a broad adult age range, with individualized risk-benefit conversations happening at any age.
