Deep dives
The Impact of Ozempic on Obesity Solutions
There is a growing recommendation for prescribing Ozempic to Americans as young as six to address obesity, a condition that was virtually non-existent a century ago. With 74% of Americans categorized as obese, the financial implications of widespread Ozempic prescriptions could reach $3 trillion annually.

This alternative approach highlights a fundamental difference in how obesity is addressed in Denmark compared to the U.S., where medications like Ozempic dominate the conversation.
