The Association Between Obesity and the 5-Year Prevalence of Morbidity and Mortality Among Adults with Type 2 Diabetes - Diabetes Therapy
Source : https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13300-023-01384-7
Introduction This retrospective claims database study examined the prevalence of mortality and morbidity among adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity. Methods The study used deidentified data from 2007...
Conclusions: The results indicate that for a cohort of adults with T2D and obesity, obesity class 3 is associated with significantly higher mortality and morbidity, including CCO, CMO, ASCVD and OSA. These findings suggest that treatment which reduces obesity among individuals with T2D may have significant health benefits, although additional...

Effects of Semaglutide on Albuminuria and Kidney Function in People With Overweight or Obesity With or Without Type 2 Diabetes: Exploratory Analysis From the STEP 1, 2, and 3 Trials
Hiddo J.L. Heerspink, Ellen Apperloo, Melanie Davies, Dror Dicker, Kristian Kandler, Julio Rosenstock, Rasmus Sørrig, Jack Lawson, Niels Zeuthen, David Cherney; Effects of Semaglutide on Albuminuria and Kidney Function in...
Conclusions/Relevance: This review summarizes recent evidence of low-LDL-C-related bleeding risk in patients on antithrombotic therapy and discusses potential measures for reducing this risk, underscoring the importance of carefully weighing the pros and cons of aggressive LDL-C lowering in patients on antithrombotic therapy.

The Effect of Semaglutide on Blood Pressure in Patients without Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36769420/
(1) Background: Recent advances in the pharmacological treatment of obesity with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) highlight the potential to target excess body weight to improve blood pressure (BP)....
Conclusions: A clinically significant reduction in BP was evident following semaglutide treatment in normotensive populations without diabetes. The effect of semaglutide in those with obesity and hypertension is as yet undetermined. Targeting excess body weight may be a novel therapeutic strategy for these

Prioritizing obesity treatment: expanding the role of cardiologists to improve cardiovascular health and outcomes
s for obesity, which are associated with numerous health benefits. Modest weight reductions of 5-10% improve cardiovascular risk factors, with greater weight loss bringing about greater benefits. Anti-obesity medications can...
Relevance: There are several treatment options for obesity, which are associated with numerous health benefits. Modest weight reductions of 5–10% improve cardiovascular risk factors, with greater weight loss bringing about greater benefits. Anti-obesity medications can support weight reduction when lifestyle modifications alone are...
