New Review and Meta-Analysis confirms weight gain with discontinuance of #Semaglutide and #Tirzepatide

Discontinuing GLP1 medications led to a pooled overall mean weight regain of 9.69 kg (or about 22 lbs in patients prescribed semaglutide/tirzepatide. The proportion of weight regained was proportional to the amount originally lost.

Discontinuation of GLP-1RA treatment leads to weight regain, regardless of lifestyle interventions, and should therefore be considered a chronic therapy to prevent weight regain and associated undesirable outcomes related to #Obesity.

Text Shot: Summary Research on Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) has mainly focused on the efficacy of weight loss and not the long-term efficacy of weight loss maintenance. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the sustainability of weight loss of patients taking GLP-1RAs following the discontinuation of the drug. EBSCOhost was used to simultaneously search Academic Search Premier, CINHAL Ultimate, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE with full text, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and separate PubMed search was systematically investigated using a predetermined search strategy from inception to February 1st, 2024. The authors extracted data regarding body weight change from baseline on treatment and off treatment, change in waist circumference from baseline on and off treatment, and change in BMI from baseline on and off treatment. Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan (version 5.4) to calculate pooled mean…

"States increasingly struggling to cover the rising cost of popular GLP-1 drugs like Wegovy, Ozempic and Zepbound are searching for ways to get out from under the budgetary squeeze that took them by surprise.

One solution some policymakers may try is restricting the number of people on Medicaid who can use the pricey diabetes drugs for weight-loss purposes."

When you can predict health outcomes based on postcodes, the issue is much more than individual choice.
Mothers and kids in the outer suburbs don't choose to be more obese than those in the inner suburbs. Obesigenic environments drive health inequities.

BBC: ‘Chubby filter’ pulled from TikTok after user backlash. “A viral filter which made people appear overweight has been removed from TikTok, after the BBC reported it had sparked a wave of user criticism. Known as a ‘chubby filter’, the artificial intelligence (AI) tool took a photo of a person and edited their appearance to look as though they had put on weight.”

'The study, presented at this year’s European Congress on #Obesity in Málaga, Spain, found that #married men were 3.2 times more likely to be #obese than unmarried men, but there was no increase in obesity risk for married women.

#Marriage also increased the odds of being overweight by 62% in men and 39% in women.'

Those chunky doggos provide new insights into dog & human obesity.

“Studying the dogs showed us something really powerful: owners of slim dogs are not morally superior. The same is true of slim people. If you have a high genetic risk of obesity, then when there’s lots of food available you’re prone to overeating and gaining weight unless you put a huge effort into not doing so,” said Dr Eleanor Raffan of Cambridge U.

Some patients in trials for the newest weight-loss drugs are losing ~too much~ weight, eating peanut butter and skipping doses to avoid losing more.

But that conflicts with the industry's hunger for ever-larger weight loss percentages. How are those two interests getting reconciled?
