Ozempic—and similar GLP-1 drugs—may be the latest weight-loss wonder, but on the aggregate, Americans’ body-centric measurements have hardly budged between 2021 and 2024. Bold Metrics Inc., a fit technology company based in San Francisco, conducted an analysis of over 18 million data points—or just less than five million data points each year—to help determine whether the effects of the so-called Ozempic Economy have started to appear in a way that would be meaningful to fashion and apparel brands and retailers. The resulting study, shared exclusively with Sourcing Journal, shows that, among both men and women in the U.S., the following measurements have not changed in any statistically significant way: mean and median weight, mean and median waist circumference, mean and median body mass index (BMI), mean and median hip circumference and waist-to-hip ratio. Several of these metrics are also used as factors to determine a person’s risk of diabetes.
