Quick Takes
The prevalence of obesity and its associated cardiometabolic
complications have increased to historic levels in the US, with
a disproportionate burden among individuals in minority
racial/ethnic groups and those with low socioeconomic status.
However, effective therapeutic options for obesity management
are limited.
In this study, once weekly 2.4 mg semaglutide injection versus
placebo in conjunction with lifestyle modification therapy among
non-diabetic individuals with obesity (or BMI ≥27 kg/m2
with comorbidities) caused significant improvements in body
weight (15% reduction vs. 2.4% in the placebo arm, over 68
weeks), cardiometabolic risk factors, self-reported physical
functioning, and body composition, with low rates of major
adverse effects or safety concerns.
Obesity pharmacotherapies, including GLP-1 receptor agonists,
are expensive and often not covered by insurance in the US,
raising concerns for disparities in access to these medications,
especially in populations disproportionately affected by
obesity. There is need for improved coverage of these
increasingly effective obesity pharmacotherapies, to enhance our
ability to manage excess weight in clinical environments.
