About The Study: This study found that nearly 17 million adolescents and young adults were eligible for glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) therapy. One in 5 young adults eligible for GLP-1RAs were uninsured and one-third denied having a routine place for health care—a barrier to identifying, treating, and preventing cardio-kidney-metabolic diseases.
