Real‐World Evidence for Existing Anti‐Obesity Therapies—The Realities of Treatment Adherence, Tolerability, Access and Patient Satisfaction

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Obesity is associated with substantial cardiometabolic and psychosocial morbidity. Although randomized controlled trials demonstrate the efficacy of anti‐obesity therapies, outcomes in real‐world practice may be attenuated due to limited access, tolerability, adherence and insufficient long‐term support.
