Abstract
Obesity is a global health crisis associated with increased morbidity and mortality.
- Obesity is linked to serious health issues, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
- Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are gaining attention for weight loss and blood sugar management.
- Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) shows more established long-term outcomes compared to pharmacologic interventions.
- Limited direct comparative data exists on the effectiveness of GLP-1 RAs versus MBS regarding mortality and cardiovascular health.
