According to an analysis by the Korean Society for the Study of Obesity, 18.9% of women with a normal weight in Korea perceive themselves as obese. In particular, the proportion of women in the pre-obese stage who consider themselves obese reached 66.9%. Although the use of obesity treatment drugs is on the rise recently, experts warn that people with a normal weight are at higher risk of side effects if they use obesity treatment drugs. While obesity treatments like Mounjaro are effective, they can have more significant side effects in people with a normal weight or older adults. Therefore, obesity treatment drugs should be used for the purpose of treating diseases, and people with a normal weight should avoid using them.
