The goal of this observational study is to learn how much weight adults with overweight or obesity lose after taking weight management for 12 months. The study also aims to learn whether these medications improve blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and how safe and tolerable they are.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
How much weight (in kilograms and percentage) do patients lose after 12 months of treatment? Do patients' fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, and cholesterol levels improve after 12 months? What side effects or treatment discontinuations occur in routine clinical practice? Researchers will compare weight loss outcomes among different patient groups based on age, sex, baseline BMI, and the specific medication used.
This is a retrospective study, meaning participants will not be asked to do anything new. Researchers will collect information from existing medical records and pharmacy claims at Aldafter Medical Center (ADMC) in Bahrain, including weight measurements, lab results, and medication histories from routine clinical care.
