"The results of this study offer substantial promise for children living with #obesity. Up until now, children have had virtually no options to treat obesity and were often simply told to ‘try harder’ with #diet and #exercise. Now, with the possibility of a medication that targets the underlying #physiology of obesity, there is renewed hope that children can lead healthier, more productive lives." #obesitycare #obesitymedicine #lifestylemedicine #healthcare

"Individuals who stay up late and wake up later, often referred to as “night owls,” are more likely to have higher body mass index (#BMI), larger waist circumferences, and more hidden body fat. Furthermore, they face an almost 50% greater likelihood of developing type 2 #diabetes (T2D) compared to those who follow earlier sleep schedules." #obesity #obesitycare #obesitymedicine #lifestylemedicine

"The message from NHS Providers is clear: while trust leaders and their teams are doing all they can to meet the challenges they face, there is a pressing need for the government to step up with significant #investment in #digital technologies and #infrastructure. Such investment is critical not only for improving productivity but also for securing the long-term future of the NHS as it continues to navigate unprecedented operational and financial pressures." #digitalhealth #healthtech #medtech #technology #tech

"This research reinforces the role of #bariatricsurgery as a superior method for managing #hypertension in individuals living with obesity, especially compared to medication-based approaches. The study highlights the surgery’s ability to lead to blood pressure remission, reduce reliance on antihypertensive drugs, and ultimately improve #hearthealth outcomes. However, further research is necessary to fine-tune these findings, particularly by evaluating different surgical procedures and comparing them with emerging non-surgical interventions." #obesity #obesitycare #obesitymedication #lifestylemedicine

"Scientists from the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) have uncovered a cellular mechanism that links obesity to #atrialfibrillation (AF), a condition affecting over 33 million people worldwide. This breakthrough not only enhances our understanding of the relationship between excess body fat and AF but also presents a promising new target for the development of therapeutic treatments. Atrial fibrillation is a common yet serious heart disorder characterised by an irregular heartbeat, which can lead to complications such as #heartfailure and stroke. #Obesity is widely recognised as a significant contributor to this condition." #obesitycare #obesitymedicine #lifestylemedicine #hearthealth

"The study not only underscores the potential of #AI in improving maternal #healthcare, but also highlights the critical importance of early diagnosis in preventing life-threatening complications related to heart failure during and after pregnancy. With further refinement and wider implementation, this AI-enhanced tool could transform the way #pregnancy-related #heartfailure is detected and managed, potentially saving countless lives in the process." #digitalhealth #healthtech #medtech #maternalhealth

"The study demonstrates that higher intakes of #protein and #fibre are strongly linked to more successful weight loss outcomes in individuals following a personalised dietary programme. The findings highlight the importance of flexible, tailored approaches to #weightloss that prioritise nutrient-rich foods while maintaining adequate caloric intake. For individuals using weight-loss medications, attention to dietary quality, especially protein intake, is essential to preserving muscle mass and preventing adverse #health effects." #obesity #obesitycare #obesitymedicine #lifestylemedicine #nutrition
