About The Study: In this large cohort of adults with overweight or obesity without diabetes, fewer than 1 in 4 patients remained on any glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) after 12 months. Switching between GLP-1RA agents was common and may reflect active therapy management rather than nonengagement, particularly as new formulations and weight management agents emerge.
