Or having a lower % of body fat (within healthy limits) is the factor improving a better immune response?

Generally studies showing off-target effects with GLP1s are at least attempting to control for this.

I’d be interested to see the data for that claim, since I would imagine a strong correlation between glp use and lower body fat.

This video by a medical doctor cites many studies showing that GLP-1 health benefits go beyond weight loss (see video description for link to papers): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKPaVhpomks

I’m sure you can just look up the studies, but note that GLP1s are widely prescribed to people without weight issues —— weight loss itself was originally an off-target effect. I have friends who run marathons who are on semaglutide.
