Article Synopsis
- Giant cell arteritis (GCA) and polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) are inflammatory diseases affecting older adults, requiring long-term glucocorticoid treatment that can lead to additional health issues.
- A study compared metabolic profiles and comorbidities of treatment-naïve patients with GCA and PMR to a general population, finding higher glycated hemoglobin and lower cholesterol levels in GCA patients.
- Results highlighted that GCA is associated with metabolic dysregulation, and glucocorticoid treatment increases the risk of diabetes and other health problems, indicating a need for alternative therapeutic approaches.
