Allurion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ALUR), a company dedicated to
ending obesity, today announced the publication of a study in the
journal Clinical Obesity on the impact of the Allurion Program on
weight reduction and body composition.
The study evaluated weight loss and body composition changes for
167 patients with an average body mass index (BMI) of 31.3. After
four months of balloon therapy, patients achieved an average weight
reduction of 15.7%. Patients continued to lose weight after balloon
passage, with an average weight loss of 17.1% at six months. At 12
months after balloon placement, the average weight loss was 14.7%,
which demonstrates a 94% weight loss maintenance eight months after
passage of the balloon.
Importantly, patients experienced significant reductions in body
fat percentage, decreasing from 39% to 35.7% at six months, while
muscle mass was preserved. No serious adverse events were
reported.
“This study highlights that with proper preparation and
follow-up, the Allurion Balloon provides safe and effective weight
loss while maintaining muscle mass,” said Dr. Napoleón Salgado
Macías, the study’s senior author. “With adherence to the Allurion
Program’s lifestyle changes, individuals can achieve sustainable,
long-term weight maintenance and significant improvements in body
composition.”
