If the reason why the obesity rate matters is because obesity (defined as a BMI over 30 in men, 35 in women) is heavily correlated with all cause mortality, and a number of other maladies along the way. So, even if GLP-1’s lower obesty rates, I wonder if we all see similar improvements to these other maladies and all cause mortality, or if the weight loss is more of a cosmetic benefit. | ||
