Use and Interest in GLP-1 Medications in a Representative Survey of Finns

Updated

Abstract

GLP-1-based medications, including semaglutide and tirzepatide, have transformed obesity treatment since 2021.

  • Semaglutide received approval for obesity treatment in the US in 2021 and in Europe in 2022.
  • Tirzepatide, a dual-agonist, has shown greater effectiveness compared to semaglutide.
  • There is limited survey data on the demographics of individuals using or considering these medications.
  • The existing data lacks insights across various socioeconomic groups, BMI categories, and weight management experiences.
