Ensuring physical activity and nutrition are central to systems supporting the global roll-out of obesity medications (GLP-1)
As obesity medications, including GLP-1 therapies, are scaled globally, this joint position statement and accompanying press release set out a clear, unified message: medication alone is not enough.
Developed by the World Obesity Federation and global partners, these resources call for integrated, person-centred approaches that embed physical activity and nutrition at the core of obesity care. They highlight the need for coordinated action across health systems, sustained investment in prevention, and equitable access to both treatment and supportive services.
