    The systematic review, according to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, analyzed the GLP-1-based anti-obesity pharmacotherapies.
    Summary · context
    Five databases were utilized to extract information from research studies related to the demographic and procedural framework, weight loss, cardiometabolic efficacy, and safety.
    Summary · context
    A total of 15 studies evaluated GLP-1-based and related anti-obesity therapies, including semaglutide, liraglutide, tirzepatide, dulaglutide, and dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists.
    Summary · context
    Participants were predominantly female (up to 79.3%), with mean age 22.4-59.8 years, BMI 29.3-43.0 kg/m², and common comorbidities including hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, OSA, MASLD, insulin resistance, and PCOS.
    Summary · context
    Thus, it is pertinent to analyse the GLP-1-based anti-obesity medications to examine cardiometabolic efficacy and safety using weight loss, glycemic control, cardiometabolic, gastro-intestinal tolerability, and serious adverse events as the primary variables.

    Participants were predominantly female (up to 79.3%), with mean age 22.4-59.8 years, BMI 29.3-43.0 kg/m², and common comorbidities including hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, OSA, MASLD, insulin resistance, and PCOS.
    Summary · context
    Thus, it is pertinent to analyse the GLP-1-based anti-obesity medications to examine cardiometabolic efficacy and safety using weight loss, glycemic control, cardiometabolic, gastro-intestinal tolerability, and serious adverse events as the primary variables.

    In this study, Liraglutide was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Liraglutide.
