Poll: Americans Getting Skinnier, Weight Loss Drug Use Expands – KXL

WASHINGTON, DC – America is reportedly getting skinnier and weight loss drugs may be a contributing factor. According to a self-reported Gallup poll, for the first time in more than 15 years, obesity rates in the U.S. have fallen from almost 40-percent in 2022 to 37-percent today. That’s an estimated seven-point-six million fewer obese adults.

The same poll reports 15-percent of women and just under 10-percent of men are on GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, more than double the number who said they used them last year.
