## Resource

A new NYU study reveals a shocking 300-fold surge in kids on GLP-1 weight-loss drugs since 2019—with over 20,000 children, some as young as eight, prescribed them. While 93.7% had severe obesity, kids in wealthier areas were 55% more likely to get the meds, despite higher obesity rates in poorer neighborhoods. Lead researcher Dr. Babak Orandi urges caution, echoing medical school advice to avoid being first to prescribe untested drugs. Experts stress these aren’t magic bullets: they must be paired with diet and exercise for real impact. Long-term safety remains unknown, sparking urgent debate about this fast-growing trend.
