Abstract Aims Despite excellent weight‐loss outcomes in clinical trials, Glucagon‐Like Peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1RA) face challenges with accessibility and compliance use. We seek to quantify how these barriers impact the long‐term efficacy of GLP1RAs real world. Materials Methods In this retrospective cohort study, we analysed weight loss patients who were prescribed GLP1RA for class 2–3 obesity treatment between January 2020 November 2022 a large non‐profit healthcare system Midwest. The primary outcome is two‐year total percentage (TWL%). Results During study period, there was six‐fold growth prescription numbers. total, 853 treatment. Of these, 211 (24.7%) never received drug 304 (35.6%) had discontinue within 2 years. most common reasons discontinuation included follow‐up original prescriber ( n = 81, 26.6%), side effects 72, 23.7%) cessation insurance coverage 65, 21.4%). Two years later, stayed on experienced significantly more than those started it (difference 3.98%, 95% CI 1.57% 6.41%, p 0.001) stopped taking 5.82%, 3.56% 8.09%, < 0.001). Patients similar 1.83%, −1.30% 4.97%, 0.251). average TWL% 9.22% (standard deviation 9.73%).

Abstract Purpose of Review This review examines lifestyle modification for obesity management with the goal identifying treatment components that could support use a new generation anti-obesity medications (AOMs). Recent Findings Semaglutide reliably reduces baseline body weight by approximately 15% at 68 weeks, in contrast to 5–10% modification. Tirzepatide induces mean losses as great 20.9%. Both reduce energy intake markedly enhancing satiation and decreasing hunger, they appear lessen need traditional cognitive behavioral strategies (e.g., monitoring food intake) achieve calorie restriction. Little, however, is known about whether patients who lose these AOMs adopt healthy diet activity patterns needed optimize composition, cardiometabolic health, quality life. Summary When used AOMs, focus likely change from inducing loss (through restriction) facilitating patients’ adoption dietary will promote optimal changes composition overall health.

Abstract

Background

Recent Food and Drug Administration approvals of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists linked to substantial weight loss have generated interest in demand projections. However, a longitudinal analysis large, diverse, current, real-world database has not been published.

Objectives

The study objective was determine user frequency GLP-1 agonist products overall by type 2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular disease (CVD), overweight or obese status. Secondary monthly growth rate estimation product since first appearance University California Health.

Methods

This retrospective cohort included patients who were dispensed from 2014 2022 the Health Data Warehouse. Exponential rates estimated using log-linear regression model.

Results

Between 2018, only Trulicity Victoza exceeded 5000 annual users. Ozempic users increased 569 2019 7667 2020. Use accelerated with more than 13,310 2021 surpass Trulicity. count 22,891 2022.

Newer drug treatments have shown greater efficacy safety compared with older treatments, yet access to these is limited by providers’ discomfort prescribing, bias, stigma obesity, as well lack insurance coverage.
