July 2026 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” The study investigates the association between glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) use and alopecia, considering factors like type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), BMI, and more. Involving 413,457 participants, it found that GLP-1RA use is significantly associated with increased odds of alopecia (aOR = 1.56), with a stronger association in non-diabetic patients (aOR = 2.12) compared to those with T2DM (aOR = 1.47).
