Adesione e persistenza con terapie basate su GLP-1: prove reali del mondo e il ruolo del supporto nutrizionale e dello stile di vita - una revisione narrativa.

Background/Objectives: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have transformed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity care, with clinical trials demonstrating weight loss exceeding 15%. However, real-world effectiveness lags trial efficacy, largely owing to high discontinuation rates. We characterize the global persistence gap and propose a framework integrating Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) to improve adherence. Methods: We conducted a narrative review of real-world evidence from North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America, synthesized with physiological, nutritional, and behavioral data to distinguish established contributors to discontinuation from strategies that
