    Analyses: Who uses weight loss medicines in Denmark?

    In 2023, 117,500 adults redeemed a prescription for a weight loss medicine. This corresponds to 2.4 per cent of the adult population. Weight loss medicines are mainly targeted at people with a BMI of at least 30, but what else characterises the users?, This analysis takes a closer look at the users of weight loss medicines, with a special focus on users in the first half of 2023. In the analysis, data on redeemed prescriptions is combined with information from Statistics Denmark’s registers. This allows, among other things, to examine the users’ sex, age, income, and municipality of residence.,  , Main conclusions:, The number and proportion of adults who have redeemed at least one prescription for weight loss medicines has increased significantly from 15,200 (0.3 per cent) in 2021 to 27,800 (0.6 per cent) in 2022 and 117,500 (2.4 per cent) in 2023. However, the number is still lower than 25 years ago when 131,100 adults (3.1 per cent) used weight loss medicines., The proportion of users of weight loss medicines is higher for women in all years. In the first half of 2023, 72 per cent of the users were women and 28 per cent were men., The proportion of users was highest in the age group of 50-59-year-olds (3.2 per cent) and lowest in the age group of 80-year-olds and older (0.1 per cent)., The proportion of users of weight loss medicines increases with income. In the first half of 2023, 1.6 per cent of the people in the lowest income quintile used weight loss med-icines, while it was about 3.4 per cent of the people in the highest income quintile - when using the equivalised disposable family income among the 30-59-year-olds., There is a difference in the proportion of users of weight loss medicines across municipalities. The highest proportion of users was in Tårnby (2.9 per cent), while the lowest proportion was in Læsø (0.8 per cent)., Gentofte municipality had the highest proportion of users of weight loss medicines in the first part of 2023 when the proportion is related to people with self-reported obesity in 2021. In Gentofte, there were 24.5 users of weight loss medicines per 100 people liv-ing with obesity, while in Læsø, there were 2.9 users per 100 people living with obesity.,  , The analysis is available in Danish here: , Hvem bruger slankelægemidler?, Get as pdf, Who uses weight loss medicines in Denmark?, Colophone, Who uses weight loss medicines in Denmark?, Subject group: People, Released: 6 May 2024 08:00, No. 2024:3, ISSN pdf: 2446-0354, Contact:, Emilie Rune Hegelund, Telephone: +45 20 56 47 11

The statistics been complied since 1994, but is in its current form comparable from 2007 and onwards. , Statistical presentation, The statistics provide an overview of the number of members of employee organisations with attachment to the labour market i.e. excl. trainees, retirees, early retirees and self-employed. The statistics are grouped by central organisations/individual organisations and gender. The statistics are published annually and disseminated in the newsletter Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik and in the StatBank., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, These statistics are based on annual reports from employees' organisations on the number of members attached to the labour market per December 31. Data are typically validated by comparing the current year’s reporting with that of previous years for each organisation. As of the reference date 31 December 2023, total membership figures are also reported for each organisation. These totals are then compared with the reported number of members with labour market affiliation per organisation to ensure consistency., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, Users of the statistics are typically employee and employer organisations, researchers and the media. No dissatisfaction has been expressed with the statistics., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The statistics are based on reports from Central Employee Organisations and other employee organisations. Not all employee unions are able to calculate the precise figures exclusive members not attached to the labor market, i.e.. students, early retirees and pensioners, and self-employed. The data are therefore believed to be a little overestimated for some organisations. On the other hand, there may be small employee organisations that are not included. The data are normally not revised, but if errors are detected they are corrected back in time as far as possible. Although participation in the statistics is voluntary, all employee organisations appear to submit data., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The statistics are published 4-5 months after the reference date. , The statistics are usually published on the scheduled date without delay., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics have been compiled (without data breach) since 2007. Minor breaks in the time series may occur when employee organisations change their reporting methods. For example, the previously observed sharp decline in membership figures for some organisations (mainly those under LO) from 2011 to 2012 was due to the inclusion of members without labour market affiliation in earlier reporting. However, this decline has been addressed as of the publication on 19 May 2025, by revising the reported figures downwards for the period 2007–2011., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics is published yearly in a Danish press release (Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik) at the same time as the tables are updated in the StatBank.

KAS is an averaging of the populations affiliation to the labour market per quarter and per year and is published annually. KAS covers the hole population from 2017 and on, while it covers the employed part of the population 1st. - 4th. quarter from 2008 to 2017. , Statistical presentation, The Quarterly Labour Market Status (KAS) is an annually individual-based averaging which is calculating the Danish population's affiliation to the labour market per quarter and per year. The statistic is among other things also distributed on information about demography and information about the work place for employees. The statistic is published in StatBank Denmark., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The quarterly labour force statistic is based on the Labour Market Account (LMA) which is a longitudinal register. LMA contains information about the populations primary attachment to the labour market on every day of the year. KAS is an average calculation of the population's primary attachment to the labour market broken down by quarters and years. If a person is employed for 91 days in a quarter of 91 days, that person counts as 1 employed. If a person is employed for 30 days, unemployed for 15 days and in education for 46 days, that person counts as 30/91 employed, 15/91 unemployed and 46/91 in education in the quarter. , Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The quarterly labour force statistic (KAS) is primarily used to structural analysis of the labour market, because the statistic has a very detailed level of information. The statistic is therefore relevant to external as well as internal users and as foundation for analyzing the populations employment over the year. , Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, KAS is an average calculation of the populations primary attachment to the labour market, and the statistic uses the Labour Market Account (LMA) as data source. KAS does not have the same uncertainties as statistics based on surveys. KAS is produced by using a wide range of data sources which are integrated, corrected, and harmonized, and can therefore measure the populations attachment to the labour market significantly better than the single statistics can. , Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, From the publication of figures for the end of November 2018 onwards, the release is carried out in two stages. In the first release, persons outside the labor force are grouped together in a single category. This publication takes place approximately 11 months after the reference point. In the second publication, which occurs approximately 15 months after the reference point, persons outside the labor force are divided into different socioeconomic groups., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics were first published in 2018 with data for employed persons in the first to fourth quarters of 2008-2016. With the exception of a change in the occupational classification in 2010, the statistics for employed persons are comparable throughout the period 2008-2016. From 2017, in addition to persons in employment, the statistics also include the rest of the population with information about their primary attachment to the labour market. KAS is based on administrative registers with national characteristics, which makes it difficult to compare the statistics internationally. , Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, The statistics are published in the StatBank under , Quarterly employed persons, ., Read more about accessibility and clarity

It illustrates correlations between Danish final use and emissions of greenhouse gases from Danish and international production. Global emission of greenhouse gases from Danish consumption and investment constitutes Denmark's Climate Footprint. The statistic is experimental and have been prepared since 2021 in collaboration with the Danish Energy Agency, which uses it for the annual publication "Danmarks Globale Klimapåvirkning – Global Afrapportering"., Statistical presentation, The statistics show the amount of greenhouse gas that has been emitted in the supply chains for Danish final use annually from 1990 onwards. The emissions are distributed by type of final use, emitting industries and countries, as well as by supplying industries., Read more about statistical presentation, Statistical processing, The climate footprint is calculated with a multi-regional environmental economic input-output (MRIO) model that links data from Statistics Denmark on Danish production and greenhouse gas emissions with data from the international database EXIOBASE on international production and greenhouse gas emissions., Read more about statistical processing, Relevance, The climate footprint is relevant for everyone who is interested in relations between Danish consumption and investment and global emissions of greenhouse gases. The climate footprint is prepared in collaboration with the Danish Energy Agency's Center for System Analysis, which uses it in their annual report "Danmarks Globale Klimapåvirkning – Global Afrapportering"., Read more about relevance, Accuracy and reliability, The overall precision of the statistics is not as high as other statistics from Statistics Denmark, which are based on directly observable data. The majority of the figures in this statistic are the result of calculations with Danish and international input-output models. The international input-output model in particular is uncertain because it is a compilation of figures from many countries of uneven quality. However, it is assessed that the precision is as good as it can be at the present time, when available sources and methods are taken into account., Read more about accuracy and reliability, Timeliness and punctuality, The climate footprint is an experimental statistic and does not yet have a fixed publication time. When a publication date is determined, it is published in Statistics Denmark's publication calendar., Read more about timeliness and punctuality, Comparability, The statistics are compiled for 1990 and onwards and are comparable over time. The statistics have been produced in collaboration with the Danish Energy Agency and are used for the Danish Energy Agency's report "Danmarks Globale Klimapåvirkning – Global Afrapportering". there will therefore be full agreement between results published by the Danish Energy Agency and Statistics Denmark., As there is not yet full international agreement on methods and data bases for calculating climate footprints, there will not necessarily be full comparability with the calculations of other institutions or other countries., Read more about comparability, Accessibility and clarity, In the Statbank, the climate footprint is published under the subject , Energy and emissions, in the tables AFTRYK1 and AFTRYK2., Read more about accessibility and clarity
