Abstract

Aim

To verify sex differences of GLP-1RAs for weight reduction.

Methods

We searched RCTs reporting weight change by sex from PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials registries. Meta-regression was performed to evaluate the association between weight reduction and sex differences. Subgroup analyses were stratified by individual GLP-1RA medications, dose, treatment duration, indication, type of control, background treatment, and baseline weight. The study protocol was registered (CRD42023480167).
