Obesity, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, and the role of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38093506/
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has a high prevalence, affecting more than 50% of patients with heart failure. HFpEF is associated with multiple comorbidities, and obesity is one...
GLP-1 receptor agonists show promise for treating obese patients with HFpEF by promoting weight loss and improving metabolic function, but efficacy and safety must be confirmed through clinical trials.

Weight-centric prevention of cancer
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38495815/
Medical nutrition therapy, exercise, antiobesity medication, and bariatric interventions, might lead to a reduction in cancer risk through weight loss-dependent and independent factors. Further evidence is needed to better determine...
Medical nutrition therapy, exercise, antiobesity medication, and bariatric interventions, might lead to a reduction in cancer risk through weight loss-dependent and independent factors. Further evidence is needed to better determine which population might benefit the most, and the amount of weight loss required to provide a clinically...

Obesity and cardiovascular health
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38243826/
Obesity has risen to epidemic levels worldwide over the past few decades and has become a huge global health burden owing to its direct contribution to the development of some...
Obesity, driven by poor nutrition and sedentary lifestyles, increases cardiovascular disease risk. Prevention efforts must start early, emphasizing healthy habits from pregnancy onwards. Plant-based diets and regular physical activity offer significant health benefits, though weight loss alone remains challenging.
