Abstract

In a retrospective analysis of 34,449 adults using an unsubsidized, tirzepatide-supported digital weight loss service (DWLS) in Australia, patients entering via peer referral showed higher 6-month program adherence and greater percentage weight loss than propensity score-matched nonreferred patients, suggesting that peer referral pathways may support retention and effectiveness in medicated obesity care.
