Teens turn to weight-loss drugs in fight against childhood obesity

Roughly 8 million American teens are living with obesity — that's one in five.

As rates soared in recent decades to epidemic levels, pediatricians could offer children and their families little beyond the conventional — and often ineffective — counsel of healthier diets and more exercise. That changed in 2022, when U.S. regulators approved Wegovy for teens.

Reuters spoke with 10 families with children who had taken Wegovy or a similar weight-loss drug. Our reporters spent more than a year closely following several of them to examine in detail the impact of their treatment.
