Letter: Not all weight loss is a good thing

Published 15 January 2025

From Penny Jackson, Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, UK

If weight loss were to occur as a side effect of using semaglutide to treat heart disease, that might not always be a good thing. I am talking about for treating older people, who may be severely underweight already. Weight loss wouldn’t be healthy there (11 January, p 19).
