Obesity
Obesity is a chronic, progressive, relapsing and multifactorial disease that deserves managing.¹ It is not a choice. It can lead to serious health risks, and impact mental wellbeing.²,³,⁴
Obesity is a global epidemic, and one in three adult New Zealanders (over 15 years) are estimated to be living with obesity - the third-highest adult obesity rate in the OECD.⁵,⁶
At Lilly, we are working to transform obesity care by driving research, raising awareness of its biological drivers, and supporting evidence based, stigma free approaches to treatment. Our focus is on helping people living with obesity access the knowledge, tools, and support they need to improve their health.
