Change From Baseline in Short Form 36 Health Survey Version 2 (SF-36v2) Acute Form Physical Functioning Domain ScoreBaseline, Week 72

The SF-36v2 acute, 1-week recall version is a 36-item, generic, patient-administered measure designed to assess the following 8 domains: Physical Functioning, Role-Physical, Bodily Pain, General Health, Vitality, Social Functioning, Role-Emotional, and Mental Health. The Physical-Functioning domain assesses limitations due to health "now" while the remaining domains assess functioning "in the past week." Each domain is scored individually and information from these 8 domains are further aggregated into 2 health-component summary scores: Physical-Component Summary and Mental-Component Summary. Items are answered on Likert scales of varying lengths (3-, 5-, or 6- point scales).The summary scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better levels of function and/or better health.

Change From Baseline in Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-Lite-Clinical Trials Version (IWQOL Lite-CT) Physical Function Composite ScoreBaseline, Week 72

The IWQOL-Lite-CT is a 20-item, obesity-specific patient reported outcome (PRO) instrument developed for use in obesity clinical trials. It assesses 2 primary domains of obesity-related health-related quality of life (HRQoL): physical (7 items), and psychosocial (13 items). A 5-item subset of the physical domain, the physical-function composite is also supported. Items in the physical-function composite describe physical impacts related to general and specific physical activities. All items in the physical domain are rated on either a 5-point frequency ("never" to "always") scale or a 5-point truth ("not at all true" to "completely true") scale. Total score of IWQOL-Lite-CT composite ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores reflecting better quality of life.

Population Pharmacokinetics (PopPK): Steady State Area Under the Concentration Curve (AUC) of TirzepatideWeek 8, 16, 36: 1 to 24 hours, 24 to 96 hours, or 120 to 168 hours postdose

Each participant was assigned via the Interactive Web Response System (IWRS) to one of the sampling PK time windows of 1 to 24 hours, 24 to 96 hours, or 120 to 168 hours postdose. The steady state AUC was evaluated using Population PK modeling.
