After seeing Sophie at 28 years (first episode) and at 35 years (second episode), the third and final episode of this podcourse looks at Sophie at 40 years old. She now has multiple obesity-related comorbidities — hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidaemia, obstructive sleep apnoea and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. GP Dr Patrick Holmes reviews how to reduce Sophie's risk of experiencing a cardiac event and improve her quality of life.

Educational objectives

After listening to this episode, healthcare professionals should be more aware of:

• The effect of having multiple obesity-related comorbidities on life expectancy and quality of life
• How weight loss medication, such as tirzepatide, could improve the health status of a person living with multiple obesity-related comorbidities
• The need to provide non-pharmacological support to people living with obesity, regardless of whether they are taking weight loss medications
• How, without effective intervention, a person with obesity can progress from metabolic vulnerability, to established metabolic disease, and to having multiple comorbidities
