Projected impact of anti-obesity pharmacotherapy use on racial and ethnic disparities in adolescent obesity
Background
Paediatric obesity disproportionately impacts individuals from minoritized racial and ethnic backgrounds. Recent guidelines support use of anti-obesity pharmacotherapy for adolescents with obesity, but the potential impact on disparities in obesity prevalence has not been evaluated.
Objectives
To model changes in obesity prevalence with increasing utilization of anti-obesity pharmacotherapy among adolescents.
Methods
Data representative of American adolescents ages 12–17 years were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, cycles 2011 through pre-pandemic 2020. A body mass index (BMI) reduction of 16.7% was applied to each participant based on clinical trial results of weekly subcutaneous semaglutide 2.4 mg among adolescents. Utilization disparities were based on utilization of the same medication class among adults. Obesity prevalence was calculated assuming utilization of 10%–100%, stratified by race and ethnicity.
Results
Among 4442 adolescents representing 26 247 384 American adolescents, projected overall obesity prevalence decreased from 22.2% to 8.4% with 100% utilization. However, disparities increased relative to Non-Hispanic White youth, with prevalence among Non-Hispanic Black and Mexican American youth ranging from 40%–60% higher to 90%–120% higher, respectively.
Conclusions
Increasing utilization of anti-obesity pharmacotherapy may widen relative disparities in obesity, particularly if utilization is unequal. Advocacy for equitable access is needed to minimize worsening of obesity-related disparities.
期刊介绍:
Pediatric Obesity is a peer-reviewed, monthly journal devoted to research into obesity during childhood and adolescence. The topic is currently at the centre of intense interest in the scientific community, and is of increasing concern to health policy-makers and the public at large.
Pediatric Obesity has established itself as the leading journal for high quality papers in this field, including, but not limited to, the following:
Genetic, molecular, biochemical and physiological aspects of obesity – basic, applied and clinical studies relating to mechanisms of the development of obesity throughout the life course and the consequent effects of obesity on health outcomes
Metabolic consequences of child and adolescent obesity
Epidemiological and population-based studies of child and adolescent overweight and obesity
Measurement and diagnostic issues in assessing child and adolescent adiposity, physical activity and nutrition
Clinical management of children and adolescents with obesity including studies of treatment and prevention
Co-morbidities linked to child and adolescent obesity – mechanisms, assessment, and treatment
Life-cycle factors eg familial, intrauterine and developmental aspects of child and adolescent obesity
Nutrition security and the "double burden" of obesity and malnutrition
Health promotion strategies around the issues of obesity, nutrition and physical activity in children and adolescents
Community and public health measures to prevent overweight and obesity in children and adolescents.
