People on GLP-1 report fingernails falling off
Writing on Yahoo Creators, Sean Kernan covers two self-reported studies presented at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology Congress. Among 575 GLP-1 users and 1,329 controls with type 2 diabetes, obesity or both, 39% of users reported nail detachment versus 9% of non-users, and 50% reported unusual hair loss versus 34%. The writer notes the studies were relatively small and show association, not proof.
Why it matters: Relevant to adults with type 2 diabetes or obesity who use or are considering GLP-1 medical weight loss, and to clinicians who prescribe or refer for it.
