US obesity rate has dropped to 36.4%, and 11% of adults are now on a GLP-1

The numbers:Obesity rate is 36.4% in 2026, down from a record high of 39.9% in 2022. Gallup calls this a statistically meaningful decline and notes it inversely tracks GLP-1 uptake.11% of US adults are currently taking a GLP-1 for weight loss.

In 2024 that figure was 3%.15% say they have used one at some point, up 9 points from 2024.91% of adults are now aware GLP-1s are used for weight loss, up from 80% in 2024.

Diabetes diagnoses have held flat since 2023 after 15 years of steady increase. Gallup makes the point that this is what you would expect, since diabetes is a lifetime diagnosis and a falling obesity rate would stabilize it rather than reduce it.

Survey was 5,065 adults for the usage figures, 10,091 across two collection windows for the obesity and diabetes numbers.

The part relevant to this subOf people currently taking a GLP-1, 68% are on brand name and 19% are on a compounded or custom-mixed version.

Another 12% do not know which they are taking.

Of the compounded users, 35% switched over from a brand name product. Movement in the other direction was only 10%. Cost was the stated reason for 66% of switchers, insurance coverage problems for 34%.Gallup's research director Dan Witters attributes part of the overall usage growth to this, arguing the lower price of compounded and custom-mixed versions is broadening who can access the drug class at all.

I viewed this drug as a cop out but honestly, lowering the obesity rate significantly reduces health care costs. So I'm all for it now.

For most people, that's like telling a gay person to just "not be gay." They're not going to change.

I think some are born gay. Some fat people are born with bad genetics but it's their own fault of parents' fault of they are fat

Back to the homos. Some are given names like Lance, Gabe, Adrian, Lindsey, Fabian etc. and have almost no chance to be straight (parents' fault)

That’s just a byproduct of rapid weight loss. Those cute cheeks are fat, that’s why everyone wants hollow cheeks.

The number would be a lot better if it wasn't for the cost.

LMAO

The bounce back will be horrifying when they stop using, or in the case of reta start suffering from stomach paralysis

You can achieve the same result with better diet and if you throw in low dose test (around 120mg a week) and as little as 20mg a day of anavar, you can do it even quicker and look significantly better if you lift and train whole body even twice a week.
