The societal implications of using glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists for the treatment of obesity.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) are weight management medications, achieving up to 15%-25% weight loss in clinical trials. Given their effectiveness and potential for scalability, GLP1-RAs are a welcome treatment option for obesity. However, not everyone who could benefit may be able to afford or want to use GLP1-RAs. There are limited data on adherence beyond clinical trials or on how to optimize adjunct behavioral therapy. There is little support offered after GLP1-RA cessation, where weight regain is marked. Without increased accessibility and lower costs, the rollout of GLP1-RAs may widen inequalities. Currently, GLP1-RAs do not offer a sustainable solution to the public health pressures caused by obesity, where prevention remains crucial. To take the best advantage of GLP1-RAs, we need to deploy them in ways that are cost effective, sustainable for healthcare systems, and equitable for societies.
期刊介绍：
Med is a flagship medical journal published monthly by Cell Press, the global publisher of trusted and authoritative science journals including Cell, Cancer Cell, and Cell Reports Medicine. Our mission is to advance clinical research and practice by providing a communication forum for the publication of clinical trial results, innovative observations from longitudinal cohorts, and pioneering discoveries about disease mechanisms. The journal also encourages thought-leadership discussions among biomedical researchers, physicians, and other health scientists and stakeholders. Our goal is to improve health worldwide sustainably and ethically.
Med publishes rigorously vetted original research and cutting-edge review and perspective articles on critical health issues globally and regionally. Our research section covers clinical case reports, first-in-human studies, large-scale clinical trials, population-based studies, as well as translational research work with the potential to change the course of medical research and improve clinical practice.
