Abstract:
Obesity represents a critical public health challenge. As of 2021, over two billion adults were overweight or living with obesity,1 conditions that increase the risk of multiple chronic diseases and premature mortality. Although effective weight-loss strategies exist, post-intervention weight regain remains the central obstacle to long-term management.
