WW
  • WW International, Inc. is continuing its partnership with the American Heart Association to encourage members to enroll in the Healthy Living BEYOND Weight™ Study.
  • The study aims to understand the lived experiences & long-term health outcomes of adults living with obesity or overweight, including those using GLP-1 medications, weight loss surgery, or lifestyle approaches.
  • Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S., with weight & cardiometabolic health identified as critical factors in long-term outcomes.
  • Weight Watchers offers a comprehensive care model combining medical support, nutrition, & behavior guidance, noting that engaged members on GLP-1s lost 61.3% more weight at 1 month & 29.1% more at 12 months compared to non-engaged users.
  • Dr. Kim Boyd, Chief Medical Officer of Weight Watchers, stated the collaboration extends insights beyond the platform to improve care across the weight health journey.
  • Mariell Jessup, M.D., FAHA, noted that Weight Watchers' trusted community is essential for reaching people whose experiences are vital for understanding the real-world impact of overweight & obesity.
  • The study is open to U.S. adults & enrollment information is available at heart.org/GoBEYOND.
  • Weight Watchers provides access to board-certified clinicians, personalized coaching, community support, & digital tools to promote metabolic & cardiovascular health.
  • The company highlights over 60 years of experience as the most studied commercial weight management program, offering an integrated system for the GLP-1 era.
  • Internal analyses of self-reported member data indicate the significant impact of pairing GLP-1 therapy with evidence-based behavioral support, though these results have not been independently verified.
