The purpose of this post approval pragmatic clinical study is to see how well semaglutide lowers body weight compared to other medication on the market used to treat obesity, across three US-based employers. These employers represent employees of diverse demography and job functions including hospitality, clerical, administrative, housekeeping, maintenance, and specialised employees across a range of socioeconomic and educational backgrounds. The study will also look at how weight loss affects physical functioning, quality of life and ability to work. It will also gather information on how satisfied participants are with the medication they take. Participants will either receive semaglutide or one of 4 approved anti-obesity medication (Xenical/Qsymia/Contrave/Saxenda).

The IWQOL-Lite-CT is a 20-item, obesity-specific patient-reported outcome (PRO) instrument developed for use in obesity clinical trials. It assesses 2 primary domains of obesity-related health-related quality of life (HRQoL): physical (7 items), and psychosocial (13 items). A 5-item subset of the physical domain, the physical-function composite is also supported. Items in the physical-function composite describe physical impacts related to general and specific physical activities. All items in the physical domain are rated on either a 5-point frequency ("never" to "always") scale or a 5-point truth ("not at all true" to "completely true") scale. Total score of IWQOL-Lite-CT composite ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores reflecting better quality of life. This outcome measure shows results for physical function domain. |

| Change in Work Limitations Questionnaire 25-item Version (WLQ-25), Total Score (TS) | Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ-25) is a 25-item questionnaire that measures how health problems affect job performance and productivity over the past two weeks, using a 5-point Likert scale. It covers four domains: Time Management (5 items), Physical Demands (6), Mental/Interpersonal (9), and Output Demands (5). Each item is scored from 1 to 5, with subscale scores calculated as the average item score, then converted to a 0-100 scale using the formula: WLQ Scale Score= 25 × (average item score - 1). Thus, each subscale ranges from 0 (no limitation) to 100 (maximum limitation). The WLQ total score is computed by applying specific weights to each subscale and summing them: 0.00048 × Time scale + 0.00036 × Physical scale + 0.00096 × Mental/Interpersonal scale + 0.00106 × Output scale. This total is then transformed into the proportion of productivity loss using the formula: (1 - exp(-total score)). | Baseline (week 0), end of treatment (week 52) |
