I mean, I'm kinda surprised to see obesity rates actually dropping but not really seeing a direct correlation with weight loss med usage... like what's driving this change? Is it the meds themselves or people are just getting tested more often now? And on a side note, why is diabetes rising at the same time? It feels like we're addressing one symptom and ignoring the root cause.
OMG u gotta know that obesity rates are actually DROPPING in the US!!! like 37% now vs 40% in 2022 that's a big drop!!! and it's all cuz ppl r using GLP-1 weight loss meds like Ozempic & Wegovy they say its because of this but tbh i think its also cuz ppl wanna look good for summer lol! but seriously, the thing is, diabetes rates are still super high tho so its not all good news... we need to figure out a way to tackle both obesity & diabetes problems at once
