Study population text

The study population will consist of male or female adults who have been prescribed Saxenda® for weight management in 2 cohorts reimbursed and non reimbursed

Inclusion criteria

Signed consent (general consent for research or study-specific informed consent) obtained before any study-related activities (study-related activities are any procedure related to recording of data according to the protocol).
Male or female, aged 18 to 74 years (both inclusive) at the time of Saxenda® initiation.
Have been prescribed Saxenda® for weight management.
For the reimbursed cohort, per the Swiss reimbursement criteria: BMI greater than or equal to 35 kg/m^2 or a BMIgreater than or equal to 28 and below 35 kg/m^2 with additional weight related comorbidities (pre diabetes or T2D (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus), hypertension, dyslipidaemia), prior to receiving the Saxenda® treatment.
For the non-reimbursed cohort, BMI greater than or equal to 30 kg/m^2 or a BMI greater than or equal to 28 kg/m^2 with additional weight related comorbidities (pre diabetes or T2D, arterial hypertension, dyslipidaemia), prior to receiving the Saxenda® treatment.
The decision to initiate treatment with commercially available Saxenda® has been made by the patient/legally acceptable representative (LAR) and the treating physician before and independently from the decision to include the patient in this study.
Baseline weight measurement within 3 months of Saxenda® initiation/prescription.
At least one weight assessment post-Saxenda® initiation/prescription.
