Is obesity still growing while people take Ozempic?

Yes. 2.5 billion adults worldwide are overweight or obese in 2025, 3 billion by 2030, the number I called on stage in 2021 at 2 billion. The US is the exception: its adult obesity rate dropped from 39.9% in 2022 to 36.4% in 2026, the first fall in 50 years, tracking GLP-1 use. 100 million treated, 3 billion overweight.
