Obesity is a significant public health issue, linked to increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This review summarizes various treatment strategies for obesity, including lifestyle changes, bariatric surgery, and pharmacologic interventions. It emphasizes the recent advancements in glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist medications, which have shown promise in aiding weight loss and potentially reducing CVD risk, particularly in patients with type 2 diabetes. The authors advocate for the integration of these therapies into clinical practice for effective obesity management.
