is there any hesitancy to prescribe these to older (55+), non obese patients that are mostly using it to drop manageable weight?
Not much. If they want to drop some manageable weight, then good for them.

no concern with lean mass loss?

Not really. I realize they will lose some, but I always try and counsel all of them of getting the daily recommended exercise goals to prevent that. Now if they are doing it, is beyond me

40% is more than "some". It is significant.

This just seems to be something that would be of more importance, at least to me.
The emphasis on how important lean mass is to overall health, how difficult it is to just maintain, much less build lean mass as we age, and how these drugs can greatly reduce the amount of lean mass should be a major concern in the those 55+ IMO
I don't know. Maybe I listen to too much Peter Attia

No dude
Hating is bad
Let the free market decide
Why should they only let fat people get the fat people shot when they don’t even try anything to better themselves

You're not wrong. But I see it is as an overall decrease in body weight taking pressure off they arthritic knees, lowering their high blood pressure, improving their high cholesterol. And if they are diabetic, improving their overall blood glucose control.

the studies showing a decrease in up to 40% lean mass with these weight loss drugs is very concerning to me, especially in older people, considering how difficult it is to just maintain lean mass, much less build it back up as we age
Not surprising. They are likely eating 1800 calories a day of junk and feeling full because of the shot instead of eating 1800 calories of healthy foods and protein while feeling full without the shot.

No doubt. I get the benefits.
I guess my overall point is the importance of strength training while on these drugs.
Even moreso than normal.

I agree with that FWIW.
If a woman sheds body weight and fat with the shot but aren’t in the gym with weights, I’d think they’d look like a flabby grandma when naked

ftr i do agreee with you 1000000%. in fact those that dont lift and are older, tend to lose as much as 75% of the weight from lean tissue. much of that is water but still concerning.
but i still would rather a female be 140 at 35% bf than 240 at 50%. it is healthier despite losing ~30lbs lean tissue

thats not true bro, for many its the jump start they need and as soon as they start seeing big time results they hit overdrive and start living a much better lifestyle. but even if they have to stay on it for life, it actually has many anti aging properties and helps overall health big time.

I'm wondering if the body builders are using this to suppress their appetite

highly doubt it.
the studies show it burns lots of muscle and fat, but those are untrained individuals and not on protein centric diet either and not on juice.
many BBers use metformin for anti aging and to control insulin etc, but i doubt many are on glp-1, atleast at high level.

If you are talking about Pro Bodybuilders there is no reason. They are on so much hGH it doesn't matter. Literally. I did up to 10 iu's a day of hGH and I could eat anything and everything I wanted with no impact on getting 'fat' or bloated etc. Most the Pro's today are doing at least 20 iu's a day. No need for any suppressant when on that amount of hGH it does all the work for you.
