Obesity is a chronic disease associated with cardiometabolic risk factors of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. In 2016, in Russia a new drug was registered for the treatment of patients with adiposity - liraglutide 3.0 mg, which is an analog of human glucagonoma peptide-1. The study purpose: to study the efficacy of liraglutide 3.0 mg/day and its impact on cardiometabolic risk factors in patients with obesity. We examined 30 patients aged 25-59 with obesity without diabetes. Patients received therapy with liraglutide 3.0 mg/day for 3 months. The examination included measurement of anthropometric parameters, blood sampling with the estimation of the parameters of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism.Results: after 3 months of treatment with liraglutide 3.0 mg a significant improvement of anthropometric parameters was observed: reduction of weight, BMI and waist circumference and a significant improvement in parameters of metabolic comorbidities.Conclusions: complex therapy with use of liraglutide 3.0 mg per day for 3 months is effective for therapy of obesity and correction of obesity-associated cardiometabolic disturbances.
