Kevin Hall@kevinh-phd.bsky.social · last yr.After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health. My life’s work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat, and how what we eat affects our physiology.

Are tirzepatide and semaglutide cost effective? Although they would reduce 20,854 & 19,211 cases of DM2 and 10,655 and 8263 cases of CVD per 100K respectively, their prices would require a 30.5% and 81.9% reduction from current price to be “cost-effective" #Medsky 🧪 jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
