The World Health Organization (WHO) has released its first guideline on the use of GLP-1 therapies for treating obesity in adults. Obesity currently affects more than 1 billion people globally โ a number projected to double by 2030, according to WHO. The organization defines obesity as having a BMI of 30 or higher in adults aged more than 19 years.
The new guideline recognizes that obesity is a chronic disease that should be treated with comprehensive and lifelong care. http://ms.spr.ly/6183tbk3R
