It's prescribed across a broad age range of adults meeting BMI and health criteria. Age itself isn't a primary gating factor for eligibility, though a provider will still consider overall health context regardless of age. It's not accurate to think of it as mainly an older-adult medication; eligibility is driven more by BMI and health conditions than age specifically.
