Claim statement
Lean-mass preservation requires attention during GLP-1-associated weight loss, especially when frailty, low protein intake, or inadequate resistance training are concerns.
This claim needs careful boundaries around population, endpoint, mechanism, or source quality.

How the claim framework works ->Strongest version
Lean-mass preservation requires attention during GLP-1-associated weight loss, especially when frailty, low protein intake, or inadequate resistance training are concerns.
Weakest version
The evidence does not support turning this into a universal claim for every person or context.
What would change our mind
Larger, better-controlled, independently replicated evidence in the relevant population and outcome lane.
What supports this claim
Early human evidence
Canonical sources and linked study records currently support this claim framing.
What weakens or limits this claim
Limitation
Body-composition methods and clinical significance vary across studies.
