Weight and health in Beaumont: local data
The CDC's PLACES program publishes model-based estimates of health conditions for U.S. cities. Its 2025 release estimates that about 42.1% of adults in Beaumont have obesity. Excess weight is closely linked to other conditions, and the same estimates show many adults in Beaumont living with them.
These figures describe the community, not any one person. Weight management can also help with related conditions, so ask your physician how your weight, blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar fit together.

Who may qualify, and what to expect
Many prescription weight-management medications are FDA-approved for adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol. Your physician decides whether a medication is appropriate for you based on your health history, current medications and goals.
Before your visit
Complete a short health questionnaire, and have a list of your current medications and any recent lab results handy.
During your visit
Your physician reviews your history, goals and past attempts, answers your questions and talks through your options, with or without medication.
After your visit
If medication is right for you, we send the prescription to your pharmacy and handle the prior authorization request. You then schedule regular follow-ups.
