Current status and effect analysis of pharmacological treatment for obesity in China
The prevalence of overweight and obesity in China is rising rapidly.Current treatment for weight loss includes lifestyle interventions,pharmacotherapy,and metabolic surgery.In recent years,pharmacotherapy for weight loss has shown significant efficiency,with good weight-loss effects,which can not only control body weight but also prevent obesity-related complications.However,currently,there are relatively few approved weight-loss drugs in China,while the social demand for weight-loss drugs in society is increasing.Therefore,this study aims to provide a reference for the pharmacological treatment of obesity by elucidating the current status of obesity treatment in China,summarizing and analyzing the initiation timing,treatment goals,and types of drugs for obesity treatment.It is hoped that this will support and promote the standardized development of clinical practices for obesity in China,benefiting more overweight and obese patients.
