A binomial logistic model was fitted to age, sex, and inclusion date using treatment group as the dependent variable (40, 41) and propensity scores were predicted for each individual in the main cohort
This was measured using MRI-PDFF imaging in patients with baseline liver fat of 15-25%
Your doctor needs to confirm you met ONE of these criteria when you first started taking a GLP-1: Path 1: Higher BMI BMI of 35 or higher No other health conditions required Example: You started Wegovy in 2024 with BMI 37, and now your BMI is 33 you still qualify
Companies, both established and new, would benefit from recognizing this trend and aligning their innovation pipelines with the needs of this expanding segment of the US adult population
While early GLP1 drugs focused primarily on diabetes, newer agents, such as tirzepatidebased therapies, have gained traction in treating obesity, raising efficacy expectations and increasing competitive dynamics
