Prevalence and factors associated with weight loss medicine usage in the Hail population, Saudi Arabia
The study highlights a relatively high prevalence of anti-obesity drug use, particularly among individuals with a BMI in the overweight range. Socio-demographic factors such as age, education, and health history influence the use of these medications. Interventions targeting affordability and promoting natural weight management methods may be important in addressing obesity treatment approaches.
