An analysis of 126 scientific publications selected from a variety of articles found that bariatric surgery leads to weight loss of 25-30%, while tirzepatide-based drugs such as Zepbound and Munjaro lead to 21% weight loss after 72 weeks of use.
According to the study, semaglutide-based drugs such as Vegovi and Ozempic (with weight loss of 8 to 21%) and behavioral therapy (with weight loss of 5 to 10%) are also effective.
Scientists emphasize that obesity is not a problem with a lack of willpower, but rather a disease that requires further study.
