Obesity Epidemiology Insights and Disease Burden
Thelansis’s “Obesity Epidemiology Insights and Disease Burden Report – 2020 To 2040″ provides an analysis of disease burden, characterized by disease definition, prevalence, incidence, diagnosed cases, severity, comorbidities, and clinical manifestations. Potential patient flow dynamics in disease burden are driven by shifts in demographic indicators and their correlation with age and gender distribution over time. Changes in the reported cases and long-term survival of patients may depend on diet, lifestyle, comorbid conditions, and the availability of interventions or therapies.
Obesity Overview
Obesity is increasingly understood as a chronic disease driven by the body’s hormonal regulation of appetite and energy balance rather than simply a matter of willpower or lifestyle choice, a shift in framing that has reshaped both how the condition is treated and how seriously it is taken clinically. The treatment landscape has been transformed by incretin-based therapies that mimic gut hormones involved in appetite regulation, and the most significant recent development has been the arrival of oral versions of these medicines, removing the need for weekly injections and broadening the population able and willing to access effective treatment. Beyond weight loss itself, these therapies are increasingly understood to influence a wider set of health outcomes, including cardiovascular risk, sleep-disordered breathing, fatty liver disease, and joint health, reframing obesity treatment as an intervention in broader metabolic health rather than a narrow lifestyle concern. The pipeline continues to expand too, with next-generation therapies combining action on multiple gut hormone pathways, while attention also turns toward preserving lean muscle mass during treatment.
Geography coverage:

Deliverables format and updates*:
- Access to an interactive epidemiology platform with downloadable Excel and PPT files.
- Global findings
- G8 findings
- Regional findings
- Country-specific findings
- Others*: regular updates, customizations, epidemiologist support
*As per Thelansis’s policy, we ensure that we include all the recent updates before releasing the content. Countries, subpopulations, and years of forecast can be customized as per client requirements.
Key business questions answered:
- 20-year historical and forecast data (2020–2040)
- Disease definition based on globally accepted and latest criteria (e.g., ICD-10 codes)
- Granular patient population coverage by year and geography
- Detailed segmentation by age, gender, subpopulations, comorbidities, line of therapies, etc.
- Patient funnels
- Country comparisons
- Relevant clinical variables (e.g., staging/classification/severity)
Insights driven by robust research and estimates:
- Published literature (e.g., peer-reviewed journal articles, registries, national surveys)
- Primary market research with KOLs
- RWD analysis using claims and EHR datasets
- Proprietary mathematical models (e.g., incidence-survival model; incidence- recurrence/progression-survival model)
