Study population text

Investigators don't anticipate any specific difficulties with recruitment for this study as overweight and obesity are very common conditions, and there are very few licensed medical options offering substantial weight loss. Liraglutide is one of them. Additionally, investigators don't see any specific difficulties in managing this study as it will be " part and parcel" of our patients' routine clinical visits. Liraglutide is going to be offered to our patients as per clinical need and the decision to treat them with liraglutide is going to be made before their potential participation in our study. Patients therefore are not going to be receiving treatment because of their participation in our study.

Inclusion criteria

Adult participants [age ≥18 y.o without upper age limit (to the discretion of the investigators)].
Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2 without coexisting comorbidities or BMI ≥27Kg/m2 with comorbidities like hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, prediabetes or obstructive sleep apnoea.
Willing to comply with study requirements and able to give informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus
History of chronic or acute pancreatitis
Known active hepatitis or active liver disease
Symptomatic gallstones or kidney stones, acute cholecystitis or history of duodenal inflammatory diseases including Crohn's Disease and Celiac Disease
Persistent anaemia, defined as haemoglobin<10 g/dl
Chronic or acute renal impairment (eGFR <30 ml/min/1.73m2)
Active systemic infection (sepsis)
Active malignancy within the last 5 years, including any form of thyroid cancer (including sporadic or familial medullary thyroid cancer) or personal, or family history of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2.
Active illicit substance abuse or alcoholism
Current pregnancy or breastfeeding at screening or 6 months previously
Donated blood during the preceding 3 months or intention to do so before the end of the study.
Any other mental or physical condition which, in the opinion of the Investigator, makes the subject a poor candidate for clinical trial participation.
