Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists Combined With Personalized Digital Health Care for the Treatment of Metabolic Syndrome in Adults With Obesity: Retrospective Observational Study
This study shows that combining GLP-1 and dual GIP/GLP-1 agonists with a digital behavioral change model significantly improves MetS markers in individuals with obesity. Tirzepatide proved more effective than semaglutide, leading to greater reductions in WC and triglyceride levels, along with better improvements in fasting glucose, BP, and lipid profiles. Higher app-based engagement was linked to better health outcomes, with participants in the highest engagement group having a 60% greater likelihood of treating MetS compared with those with the lowest engagement.
