Combining GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and Health-Behaviour and Lifestyle Therapy Yields Higher Adherence and Reduces Session Needs for Successful Weight Management in Adolescence: An Observational Real-World Single-Center Study

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the impact of health behavior and lifestyle therapy (HBLT) on the effectiveness of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) in treating obesity in adolescents. Their findings indicate that combining HBLT with GLP-1RA treatment significantly improves adherence and leads to greater reductions in body mass index (BMI), suggesting that HBLT is crucial for enhancing the persistence and efficacy of GLP-1RAs in this population.
