00:01Research shows that people carrying certain genetic variants may lose more weight on drugs
00:06such as Wagovi or Munjaro. The medicines work by reducing hunger, but effectiveness varies widely.
00:14Experts say factors such as age, sex, ancestry, health conditions and lifestyle also affect
00:20outcomes. The study looked at 15,000 people who had taken weight loss drugs alongside
00:25gene testing. Some participants lost up to 30% of body weight, while others lost little.
00:32Researchers say the findings could inform future precision medicine approaches, but more trials
00:38are needed. Currently, genetics is only one part of a complex picture influencing weight loss drug results.
