  The obesity rate among U.S. adults fell in 2023 for the first time in over a decade, according to a new study released on Friday. The study published in the journal JAMA Health Forum found that obesity nationwide has dropped from 46 percent in 2022 to 45.

The article from MSN discusses a recent study indicating that the obesity rate among U.S. adults decreased in 2023 for the first time in over a decade. This decline is attributed to several factors including increased awareness of health issues, the popularity of weight loss medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, and a cultural shift towards healthier lifestyles. The study highlights that while the overall obesity rate has dropped, disparities still exist across different demographic groups. Notably, the use of new anti-obesity medications has played a significant role in this trend, alongside traditional methods like diet and exercise. However, experts caution that long-term effects and sustainability of these changes need further observation.
