A substantial increase of habitual protein intake above the currently recommended levels is achievable within 17 weeks in community-dwelling older adults.

Practitioners can encourage older adults to increase protein intake significantly above current recommendations.

Body fat mass initially increased, while skeletal muscle mass decreased, but this trend was reversed in the high protein group after resistance training.

Practitioners should note the potential for changes in body composition with high protein intake and resistance training.

GLP-1 agonists reduce food intake and delay gastric emptying, contributing to weight loss.

Understanding these mechanisms can help practitioners better utilize GLP-1 agonists in treatment.

Glucagon coagonists like survodutide and mazdutide have demonstrated significant weight loss and improved glycemic control.

These agents may be effective options for patients needing weight loss and glycemic control.

Participants in the financial incentives group lost a mean of 5.4 lb, those in the environmental strategies group lost a mean of 2.2 lb, and the combination group lost a mean of 2.4 lb more than participants in the usual care group at 18 months.

Financial incentives may lead to greater weight loss compared to usual care, but the overall effectiveness is not significantly different.

Employees with obesity may benefit from more intensive individualized weight loss strategies.

More personalized approaches may enhance weight loss outcomes for individuals with obesity.

Adequate recovery is required during training and competition processes to optimize combat sports performance.

Practitioners should prioritize recovery strategies in training and competition.

Physical activity should be included in medical treatments for excess weight and adiposity as deemed medically appropriate.

Practitioners should incorporate physical activity into treatment plans for patients with excess weight.

For weight loss and prevention of weight gain, physical activity should be progressed to at least 150 min·wk −1 of moderate-intensity.

Encourage clients to engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity weekly for effective weight management.

Calorie restriction, structured exercise, pharmacotherapy, and metabolic surgeries have shown beneficial effects in reducing VAT.

Implementing these strategies can effectively reduce visceral fat.

Lifestyle preventative approaches, especially combining nutrition and physical activity behavioral components, are essential in preventing multiple long-term conditions.

Practitioners should integrate nutrition and physical activity in prevention strategies.

Innovative exercise prescription should include different intensity-based approaches to target multiple long-term conditions.

Exercise programs should be tailored to individual needs and intensities.

Students who received education showed the most improvement regarding their knowledge and dietary behavior.

Incentivized dietary education can effectively improve college students' dietary knowledge and behaviors.

Educating college students to work toward improving their diets with the assistance of incentives may have a positive effect on their health behaviors.

Incentive-based educational programs can be effective in promoting healthier eating habits among college students.

Bariatric surgery is associated with substantial weight reduction (20-30%) and markedly lower subsequent risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).

Bariatric surgery may be a highly effective option for patients with obesity at risk for cardiovascular events.

After 3 months, average weight loss was 4.11 kg or 4.57%.

Practitioners can expect significant weight loss in patients using semaglutide in a real-world setting.

Individuals lost fat mass (2.67 kg) and trunk fat mass (1.10 kg).

Practitioners can expect reductions in fat mass among patients using semaglutide.

Factors that facilitate the provision of dietary pattern advice for T2DM include social support, educational resources, and robust scientific evidence.

Enhancing support and resources can improve the effectiveness of dietary advice for T2DM.

Meal replacement with caloric restriction resulted in greater reductions in body weight and BMI compared to meal replacement without caloric restriction.

Incorporating caloric restriction into meal replacement strategies can enhance weight loss outcomes for T2D patients.

Participants in the DSMES program experienced significant reductions in weight, BMI, and A1C levels.

Implementing a community-based DSMES program can lead to significant health improvements in patients with type 2 diabetes.

The ELM trial tests the hypothesis that a habit-based lifestyle treatment can produce sustained remission of metabolic syndrome (MetS) at 24 months.

Practitioners may consider implementing habit-based lifestyle interventions for MetS management.

Both GLP-1RAs and combination therapy resulted in significant weight loss, with GLP-1RAs showing a mean weight loss of −5.2 kg at 12 months.

Practitioners can expect GLP-1RAs to aid in weight management for liver transplant recipients with diabetes.

VLCHF and LF diets with moderate energy restriction demonstrate similar weight loss and improvements to BP to 3 months.

Both VLCHF and LF diets can be effective for weight loss in the short term.

All groups achieved significant weight loss and improvements in BP and blood glucose.

Both VLCHF and LF diets can lead to significant health improvements.
