BACKGROUND: Virtually-delivered obesity care has the potential to increase access to weight loss interventions at scale. While there is ample literature assessing various weight loss interventions, studies specifically demonstrating outcomes of commercial programs offering antiobesity medications in virtual care settings are lacking. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study assessed the weight loss outcomes of 66,094 participants in a virtual weight care program that prescribes antiobesity medications alongside a digital behavior change program. Outcomes included the primary endpoint of percent weight loss at 12 months, as well as absolute change in body weight, change in body mass index (BMI), categorical weight loss at three, six, and 12 months, and stratifications by program engagement and medication type (first vs. second generation antiobesity medications). RESULTS: At program enrollment, members were on average 42.6 years old and 91.5% female, with a BMI of 36.0 kg/m CONCLUSION: This study provides real-world evidence that users of a virtual commercial weight care clinic who were prescribed antiobesity medications achieved clinically significant weight loss at six and 12 months. These findings support the value of virtual platforms in efficiently scaling access to high-quality weight care.
