Abstract
Background
Sarcopenia is a condition that poses a significant risk in the older population, with diabetes identified as a risk factor. Recent evidence suggests that GLP-1 RA, commonly used as antidiabetic treatments, may potentially induce sarcopenia. This study aimed to investigate the association between sarcopenia and various antidiabetic drugs, including GLP-1 RAs.
Methods
This study analyzed reports from the World Health Organization international pharmacovigilance database, covering the period from 1967 to 2023 (total reports, n = 131,255,418). We analyzed the reported odds ratio (ROR) and information component (IC) to evaluate the association between sarcopenia and seven classes of antidiabetic drugs: DPP-4 inhibitors, GLP-1 RAs, insulin, metformin, SGLT2 inhibitors, sulfonylureas, and thiazolidinediones.
Results
Reports of antidiabetic drugs-associated sarcopenia have gradually increased (n = 508; 258 males [50.79 %]). Overall, antidiabetic drugs showed significant associations with sarcopenia (ROR, 1.31 [95 % CI, 1.20–1.44]; IC, 0.38 [IC025, 0.24]). Among the individual drug classes, SGLT2 inhibitors showed the highest association (ROR, 2.49 [95 % CI, 1.93–3.22]; IC, 1.30 [IC025, 0.87]), followed by metformin (ROR, 1.86 [95 % CI, 1.43–2.41]; IC, 0.88 [IC025, 0.44]), DPP-4 inhibitors (ROR, 1.67 [95 % CI, 1.17–2.38]; IC, 0.72 [IC025, 0.12]), and insulin (ROR, 1.27 [95 % CI, 1.11–1.45]; IC, 0.34 [IC025, 0.11]). Despite the high number of reports for GLP-1 RAs, no significant association with sarcopenia was observed (n = 93; ROR, 1.06 [95 % CI, 0.86–1.29]; IC, 0.08 [IC025, -0.27]).
Conclusions
Antidiabetic drugs showed significant associations with sarcopenia, with SGLT2 inhibitors exhibiting the strongest association. Notably, despite numerous reports, GLP-1 RAs did not show a significant association.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics provides a medium for the publication of papers from the fields of experimental gerontology and clinical and social geriatrics. The principal aim of the journal is to facilitate the exchange of information between specialists in these three fields of gerontological research. Experimental papers dealing with the basic mechanisms of aging at molecular, cellular, tissue or organ levels will be published.
Clinical papers will be accepted if they provide sufficiently new information or are of fundamental importance for the knowledge of human aging. Purely descriptive clinical papers will be accepted only if the results permit further interpretation. Papers dealing with anti-aging pharmacological preparations in humans are welcome. Papers on the social aspects of geriatrics will be accepted if they are of general interest regarding the epidemiology of aging and the efficiency and working methods of the social organizations for the health care of the elderly.
