Not everyone on GLP-1 medication drops weight.
A clinical trial suggests that about 10% to 15% of people who try the medications are “non-responders” when it comes to substantial weight loss.
Health officials say there is evidence showing other health benefits, like reducing heart attacks and strokes.
GLP-1 drugs can also improve outcomes in heart failure, even when participants don’t lose weight or if they gain.
Other researchers say the drugs may also improve liver health.
