Most Patients Stopped Weight-Loss Injections Within the First Year
Published
A new study by Clalit Health Services examined more than 34,000 patients who began using weight-loss injections. The researchers checked how many of them continued the treatment over time.
According to the findings, 67.6% of patients stopped the treatment during the first year. In other words, fewer than one-third continued using the injections for a full year. The study also examined the risk of discontinuing treatment, and the data show that the issue is especially important for those starting such a treatment.
Weight-loss injections have become a well-known and widespread treatment in recent years, and many people who start it are looking for fast results. However, the study shows that continuity of treatment is not simple, and many patients do not reach the end of the first year.
The study emphasizes the importance of regular medical follow-up and of a good understanding of the treatment before starting it. The data can help doctors and patients plan the treatment more precisely.
