Glucagon-Like Peptide–Based Therapies and Longevity: Clinical Implications from Emerging Evidence

Glucagon-like peptide–based therapies are increasingly used for weight management and glycemic control, but their potential impact on long-term survival remains uncertain. The clinical question addressed in this report is whether treatment with glucagon-like peptide receptor agonists is associated with reductions in all-cause mortality and age-related morbidity beyond their established metabolic effects. This question matters because these agents are now prescribed across broad patient populations, including individuals without diabetes, and long-term exposure may influence cardiovascular, oncologic, and neurodegenerative outcomes. Understanding whether...
