ABSTRACT
In a retrospective analysis of 34,449 adults using an unsubsidised, tirzepatide‑supported digital weight‑loss service in Australia, patients entering via peer referral showed higher six‑month program adherence and greater percentage weight loss than propensity score–matched non‑referred patients, suggesting that peer‑to‑peer networks may support retention and effectiveness in medicated obesity care.
