64.8% of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) presenting to a sleep surgery clinic met FDA-approved criteria for GLP-1 receptor agonist (RA) use.

Practitioners should consider that a significant portion of OSA patients may be eligible for GLP-1 RA treatment.

Tirzepatide treatment preserved lean mass and muscle function after 4 months.

Tirzepatide may help maintain muscle mass and function during weight loss in obese patients.

Whey and soy proteins can be part of a resistance training regimen, but findings should be interpreted with caution due to small sample size.

Practitioners should consider the potential benefits of protein supplementation while being aware of the limitations of the current evidence.

There was no significant clinical aggravation of renal biomarkers in the studies reviewed.

Clinicians can be reassured that protein supplementation does not adversely affect renal biomarkers in this population.

The existing data on protein supplementation and kidney function is weakened by brief study periods and traditional biomarkers.

Future research should focus on longer study durations and advanced renal markers for better safety profiles.

Dysfunctional eating attitudes and behaviors (DEAB) are more concerning in the athletic population than in the general population.

Practitioners should be aware that athletes may exhibit higher levels of dysfunctional eating behaviors compared to non-athletes.

There is a need for assessment tools specifically adapted to the context of athletes to improve screening accuracy for DEAB.

Developing and validating tailored assessment tools can enhance the identification of DEAB in athletes.

Multiple factors moderate strength improvements from resistance training frequency.

Practitioners should consider individual and program-specific factors when designing resistance training programs for strength gains.

Overemphasis on protein supplementation could detract from achieving energy balance through mixed-macronutrient sources.

Practitioners should ensure a balanced intake of macronutrients rather than focusing solely on protein.

LAB-FWP supplementation resulted in significant increases in dietary vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium intake (all P < .001).

Practitioners should note the potential of LAB-FWP to enhance nutritional intake in older adults.

Weight loss was observed in 52.8% of patients, with a mean change of −0.9 ± 8.2 kg.

Practitioners may see moderate weight loss in a significant portion of patients.

The DG3D study is a 12-month, single-masked, three-arm randomized behavioral nutrition intervention.

The study's design allows for robust evaluation of dietary interventions.

Post-intervention, adherence to the Mediterranean diet increased by 1.09 ± 2.56 points (8.55 points).

The increase in adherence suggests that educational interventions can be effective in improving dietary habits.

Males had the maximum decrease in weight in the age group of 20–30 years (mean loss −2.63 kg), while females had the maximum weight loss in the 50–60-year group (mean loss −2.97 kg).

Weight loss varies by age and gender, which may inform targeted interventions.

Despite improvements, a considerable proportion of subjects still have high-risk levels, indicating the importance of continuing and prolonged lifestyle modification.

Ongoing lifestyle modifications are crucial for maintaining health improvements in prediabetic individuals.

The PAP intervention was found to be cost-effective and comparable in value to standard care.

PAP can be a viable and cost-effective option for healthcare providers to improve patient outcomes.

The model combines 43 multi-factors, including laboratory and lifestyle features.

Incorporating both laboratory and lifestyle factors can improve T2D risk prediction.

Cardiometabolic improvements from weight loss appear independent of changes in body fat percentage or fat distribution.

Weight loss alone may not lead to improvements in cardiometabolic health if body fat percentage or distribution does not change.

Personalized nutrition has the potential to contribute to better public health.

Implementing personalized nutrition strategies could be a valuable approach for public health initiatives.

Research on digital behavior change interventions (DBCIs) for obesity has grown rapidly since 2007.

Practitioners should be aware of the increasing focus on DBCIs in obesity management.

The modern food environment is characterized by increased availability of palatable, energy-rich, nutrient-poor foods.

Practitioners should be aware of the prevalence of unhealthy food options in the environment.

Long-term adherence to weight loss solutions offered by diet culture remains a challenge.

Practitioners should consider the challenges clients face in adhering to weight loss diets.

Consumer behavior trends favor locally sourced, organic, and minimally processed foods.

Practitioners should promote locally sourced and minimally processed food options to clients.

Current dietary counselling in clinical practice often overlooks the potential adverse impact of UPFs.

Healthcare providers should enhance nutritional guidance to include the risks of UPFs.
