Body Weight Maintenance

Adults with obesity receiving tirzepatide lost more than 25% of their body weight and were able to maintain their weight loss for up to 88 weeks, according to data from the SURMOUNT-4 trial.

Insurance-mandated weight management programs prior to bariatric surgery are ineffective “and should be abandoned,” according to researchers.

Patients with obesity who received personalized electronic health record-based coaching in addition to using EHR tools to track their physical activity and diet maintained weight loss better that those who used EHR tools alone, according to a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
