    Abstract Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) affects 25% of adults over age 65. Nevertheless, few clinical trials include patients over age 75.
    Methods: This case series reports retrospective data on a cohort of 85 patients aged 80 and over (mean 88.1, range 80-104) with T2DM, managed by a single endocrinologist. The practice's computerized data base was searched for all patients 80 years of age and older with a diagnosis of T2DM.
    Results: The major observations were the significant decrease in the use of agents associated with hypoglycemia (sulfonylureas and insulin), and the beneficial and well-tolerated use of glucagon like peptide-1 receptor analogues (GLP-1 RA). The mean A1c in the entire cohort dropped from 7.6% to 6.6% over a mean of 9 months. Nearly one-half of the cohort were treated with GLP1-RA, reflecting studies demonstrating the safety and efficacy of this class of drugs in less elderly patients. At presentation, 75% were on sulfonylurea and/or insulin; this number was reduced to 27%. Furthermore, none of the patients required short-acting (bolus) insulin to achieve the individualized A1c target.
    Conclusion: Patients with T2DM aged 80 and over respond well to GLP1-RA drugs, drastically reducing the need for agents associated with hypoglycemia. The important question, which will require larger and prospective studies, is whether the lowering of A1c, as shown in this paper, and the use of GLP-1 RA specifically, are associated with improved morbidity and mortality in the very elderly.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the association of subjective social status (SSS) with metabolic syndrome (MetS) severity and its potential contribution to racial health disparities in women with breast cancer.
    Methods: Multicenter cross-sectional study (10 US hospitals) in women (n = 1206) with primary diagnosis of invasive breast cancer received during Mar/2013-Feb/2020. Participants, self-identified as non-Hispanic White or Black, underwent physical and laboratory examinations and survey questions assessing socioeconomic parameters, medical history, and behavioral risks. SSS was measured with the 10-rung MacArthur scale. MetS severity was measured with a validated Z-Score. Generalized linear mixed modeling was used to analyze the associations. Missing data were handled using multiple imputation.
    Results: Average age was 58 years. On average, the SSS of Black women, given equivalent level of income and education, was lower than the SSS of White women: 6.6 (6.1-7.0) vs 7.7 (7.54-7.79) among college graduates and 6.8 (6.4-7.2) vs 7.6 (7.5-7.8) among women in the high-income category (> $75,000). In multivariable analysis, after controlling for age, income, education, diet, and physical activity, increasing SSS was associated with a decrease in MetS-Z score, - 0.10 (- 0.16 to - 0.04) per every 2 rung increase in the MacArthur scale.
    Conclusion: Black women with breast cancer rank their SSS lower than White women with breast cancer do at each level of income and education. As SSS is strongly associated with MetS severity these results identify potentially modifiable factors that contribute to racial disparities.
