ABSTRACT

Obesity is "the abnormal or excessive accumulation of fat that may be harmful to health". This is a public health problem that has increased its prevalence in recent decades, causing metabolic alterations that raise morbidity and mortality. Currently, the World Health Organization's definition of obesity refers to an excessive accumulation or abnormal distribution of body fat that affects health. Before 1990, various drugs were prescribed to treat obesity, such as dinitrophenol, amphetamines, and phentermine, among others; unfortunately, these drugs lacked studies supporting their effectiveness and were withdrawn from the market. The treatment of obesity should be approached based on the degree of obesity and the patient; lifestyle and diet modifications are essential in the treatment. Among the new therapies used is the use of retatrutide, a triple agonist of GLP-1/GIP/GCG receptors, whose effect reduces food intake and increases energy expenditure, promoting weight reduction along with improvement in glucose levels; however, it is still in phase 1B.
