Is obesity only a result of voluntary excessive energy intake and decreased energy expenditure? 1. Hall KD, et al. Am J Clin Nutr . 2022;115:1243–54; 2. Herrera BM, Lindgren CM. Curr Diab Rep. 2010;10:498–505; 3. Sominsky L, Spencer SJ. Front Psychol. 2014;5:434; 4. Luppino FS et al. Arch Gen Psychiatry. 2010;67:220 – 9; 5. Loring & Robertson. 2014. The Regional Office for Europe of the World Health Organization, pp.4 ; 6. Janssen LK & Juk JL. Canadian Adult Obesity. Available from https://obesitycanada.ca/guidelines/epidemiology. Accessed July 2022; 7. Lau D et al. Canadian Adult Obesity Clinical Practice Guidelines: The Science of Obesity. Available from https://obesitycanada.ca/guidelines/science. Accessed November 2022. Many paths can lead to obesity Obesity is caused by a complex interplay of several factors. It is a chronic disease in which abnormal or excess adiposity impairs health, increases the risk of long-term medical complications and reduces life span. Biological The brain controls eating behavior and appetite Psychological Stress and psychological distress impact appetite Genetic Around 40-70% of our weight is dependent on our genetic make-up Social Health, social and economic inequalities Environmental Unhealthy eating patterns and sedentary lifestyle Several medications promote long term weight gain Medications

What is the role of the brain in regulating appetite? 1. Badman MK & Flier JS. Science. 2005;307:1909–14; 2. van Bloemendaal L et al. Diabetes. 2014;63:4186–96; 3. Klok MD et al.

Canadian Adult Obesity Clinical Practice Guidelines: The Science of Obesity. Available from https://obesitycanada.ca/guidelines/science. Controlled by the brain’s reward system Eating for hunger Eating for pleasure Controlled by endocrine feedback signals Homeostatic eating Hedonic eating Executive function Self-regulatory processes influencing eating Deciding to eat Medication and surgery Medication and surgery Behavioral therapy Appetite is normally regulated by a complex interplay of different signals and areas in the brain. Increased understanding of the biology of appetite regulation has led to the development of new generation pharmacotherapy. The brain controls eating behavior and appetite. Weight is determined and regulated by a unique, three-layer appetite system.

Losing and maintaining weight loss with diet and exercise alone is a constant struggle. Nordmo M, et al. Obesity Rev 2020;21:e12949. Note: lifestyle interventions includes diet, exercise & behavioural therapy Despite best efforts, metabolic changes to weight loss promote weight regain I went on a diet and exercise programme last year and lost 30 kg, but despite continuing to exercise and eat well, I started regaining weight. I felt like a failure and it affected my mental health .

Introducing Wegovy®

Semaglutide is human GLP-1 analogue 94% homology to human GLP-1 t ½ of approximately 1 week HYP – – – PB BNST CEA AP NTS + Direct activation of the hindbrain (AP/NTS) Direct activation of the hypothalamus (HYP) Campos et al. Cell metabolism 2016;23(5):811-820; Friedrichsen et al. Diabetes Obes Metab 2021;23:754–62. Wegovy® is a GLP-1 RA that works in key areas of the brain to help control hunger and cravings CEA: CEntral nucleus of Amydala ; NTS: Nucleus Tractus Solitarius; AP: Area Postrema; HYP: Hypothalamus PB: ParaBrachial nucleus; BNST: bed nucleus of the stria terminalis

GLP-1: glucagon-like-peptide-1. GLP-1 RA: glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist. Wegovy® is a GLP-1 RA that works in key areas of the brain to help control hunger and cravings Homeostatic regulation Wegovy® 2.4 mg increases satiety , making your patients feel less hungry 1 Hedonic regulation Wegovy® 2.4 mg reduces food cravings and preferences for certain foods 1

Wegovy® has been assessed in multiple phase III trials involving more than 26,000 participants *Semaglutide 2.4 mg is only indicated for weight management in appropriate patients and is not indicated for MASH. HFpEF : heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. MASH: metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, formerly non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. MRCT: multi-regional clinical trial.

Summary † 30.2% of patients in STEP 1 and 38.6% of patients in STEP 4 achieved ≥20% weight loss with Wegovy® 2.4 mg as an adjunct to a reduced-energy diet and increased physical activity; supportive secondary endpoint, p-value not available, not to be used to infer definitive treatment effect. 1–3 ^ 36.1% of patients in STEP 5 achieved ≥20% weight loss with Wegovy® 2.4 mg at Week 104; supportive secondary endpoint, p-value not available, not to be used to infer definitive treatment effect. 4 The most common side effects associated with Wegovy® were gastrointestinal (nausea=38%, diarrhoea=27%, constipation=22%, vomiting=22%, abdominal pain=18%), headache (13%) and fatigue (10%). 1 ‡ Significant improvements with Wegovy® 2.4 mg in waist circumference, systolic blood pressure and physical functioning as assessed by SF-36 score (confirmatory secondary endpoints; p<0.001 vs placebo). 1,2 Wegovy® 2.4 mg is only indicated for weight management in appropriate patients and is not indicated for the prevention of cardiovascular events. 1 Mean baseline body weight and BMI across STEP 1, 4 and 5 of 105–107 kg and 37.9–38.5 kg/m 2 , respectively. 1–4 BMI: body mass index.
