    Summary
    Tirzepatide showed the highest likelihood of ≥15% weight loss (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 5.57; 95% CI, 3.66-8.49) and the greatest mean weight loss at 12 months (-13.0%), followed by semaglutide (aHR 1.77; 95% CI, 1.56-2.01; -5.9%); both were significantly greater than the older agents in adjusted analyses.

    Summary · context
    We conducted a retrospective, new-user, active-comparator cohort study using the National Institutes of Health All of Us Research Program.
    Summary · context
    We included 14,046 adults with obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥30 kg/m2) initiating exenatide, liraglutide, dulaglutide, semaglutide, or tirzepatide.
    Summary · context
    Groups were compared after multivariable adjustment for baseline confounders.
    Summary · context
    Participants were followed from the index date until the outcome, death, or loss to follow-up; percent weight and BMI change was assessed at 12 months (±45 days).
    Summary · context
    Cox proportional hazards models estimated the relative likelihood over time of achieving weight-loss thresholds (≥5%, ≥10%, ≥15%) and ≥1 BMI-category reduction; linear regression assessed the magnitude of weight change, with liraglutide as reference.
