This has major implications: (1) the drug should benefit patients across the BMI spectrum, not just high-BMI populations, (2) access barriers are blocking a drug that works via anti-inflammatory mechanisms that address SDOH-generated CVD risk, not just metabolic pathways, and (3) the therapeutic framing needs to shift from 'obesity drug with CV benefits' to 'CV drug that also treats obesity.'

### Additional Evidence (confirm)

SELECT trial prespecified analysis (N=17,604) published in The Lancet November 2025 confirms ~67% of MACE reduction is independent of weight/adiposity changes. Treatment effect was consistent across ALL baseline BMI and waist circumference categories with no evidence of heterogeneity. Time-varying weight loss analysis showed 'no evidence that the treatment effect of semaglutide was mediated by time-varying weight loss.' Only ~33% of benefit explained by early waist circumference reductions. This is stronger evidence than the ESC 2024 abstract because it's a prespecified (not exploratory) analysis from the definitive SELECT publication.
### Additional Evidence (confirm)
*Source: [[2026-03-30-lancet-select-adiposity-independent-cv-outcomes-2025]] | Added: 2026-03-30*
ESC 2024 mediation analysis (Colhoun/Lincoff) found hsCRP (inflammation marker) mediated 42.1% of CV benefit while body weight mediated only 19.5%. Joint mediation of all measured metabolic factors was 31.4% (95% CI: -30.1% to 143.6%), leaving ~68.6% of benefit unexplained by adiposity or standard metabolic parameters. The convergence between this analysis (68.6% unexplained) and the Lancet prespecified analysis (67% weight-independent) from independent methodologies strengthens the anti-inflammatory mechanism hypothesis.
