The research paper addresses childhood obesity as a significant global health issue influenced by genetic and environmental factors, emphasizing the need for tailored management strategies distinct from adult obesity treatments. It reviews genetic factors, pharmacotherapy, and dietary interventions, assessing their efficacy and safety while suggesting future research directions to develop more effective, personalized healthcare solutions for this condition.

This study found a strong correlation between platelet metrics and cardiovascular risk in prediabetic patients with coronary artery disease. Platelet indices can effectively predict the risk of CAD and can aid in early intervention planning for this high-risk group.
This systematic review and meta-analysis found that obesity, as measured by body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist to height ratio (WHtR), is significantly associated with an increased risk of prediabetes. However, WC may be the best indicator for predicting prediabetes. Further studies are needed to confirm these results and determine the most effective way to measure obesity as a risk factor for prediabetes.
The aim of this study was to investigate the synergistic effect of general and central obesity with dyslipidemia on the risk of HTN.
This joint expert review by the Obesity Medicine Association (OMA) and National Lipid Association (NLA) provides clinicians an overview of the pathophysiologic and clinical considerations regarding obesity, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.
This review highlights precision nutrition (PN) as an effective strategy for managing obesity by integrating gene-nutrient interactions, intestinal microbiota, and lifestyle factors. It emphasizes PN’s role in improving dietary quality and physical activity adherence, while also offering potential for long-term prevention of obesity and its related complications.
The purpose of this study was to examine whether a modified cardiometabolic disease staging (CMDS) system, a validated diabetes prediction model, predicts major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
