Formula Used
Weight Loss = Base Percentage × Dosage Factor × Duration Factor × Lifestyle Factor
Where:
- Base Percentage = 0.15 (15% average weight loss from clinical trials)
- Dosage Factor = 0.7 for 2.5mg, 0.85 for 5mg, 1.0 for 10mg, 1.15 for 15mg
- Duration Factor = 0.4 for 3 months, 0.7 for 6 months, 1.0 for 12 months, 1.2 for 18+ months
- Lifestyle Factor = 0.8 for minimal, 1.0 for moderate, 1.2 for intensive
Example Calculation
Real-World Scenario:
A 45-year-old female weighing 220 lbs at 5'6" wants to lose weight with 10mg Tirzepatide for 12 months while maintaining moderate diet and exercise.
Given:
- Current Weight = 220 lbs
- Height = 66 inches (5'6")
- Tirzepatide Dosage = 10 mg/week
- Duration = 12 months
- Lifestyle Factor = Moderate (1.0)
Calculation:
Weight Loss = 15% × 1.0 (10mg factor) × 1.0 (12 months) × 1.0 (moderate lifestyle)
Weight Loss = 15% of 220 lbs = 33 lbs
Result: Expected weight of 187 lbs after 12 months, with a BMI reduction from 35.5 to 30.2
