A Survey on the Impact of Anti-Obesity Medications on Appetite and Motivations to Eat

This study investigates differences in eating behaviours between individuals who are currently taking anti-obesity medications and individuals who are not taking such medications. Anti-obesity medications are increasingly prescribed for weight management and may influence appetite regulation, satiety, food cravings, and other aspects of eating behaviour. However, it remains unclear how individuals using these medications differ behaviourally from those who are not using pharmacological treatment. We will also gather data across different available drugs and may explore differences between drugs. The aim of this study is to examine whether the use of anti-obesity medications is associated with differences in specific eating behaviours. Understanding these differences may help clarify how pharmacological treatments interact with psychological and behavioural aspects of eating and weight management.
