Carbohydrate constitutes 59.98% and protein 17.42% of total energy intake in this population.

Understanding macronutrient distribution can help tailor dietary recommendations.

Approximately 7% of studied females aged 51-70 years met the recommended or higher levels for fibre.

There is a need for increased focus on fibre intake among older females.

The proportion of new users of semaglutide (Ozempic ® ) with a record of type 2 diabetes (T2D) declined from 99% in 2018 to only 67% in 2022, before increasing again to 87% in 2023.

Practitioners should note the changing demographics of semaglutide users, indicating a shift towards off-label use.

Most initiators of semaglutide (Ozempic ® ) with T2D had suboptimal glucose control, with 83% having an HbA1c ≥ 48 mmol/mol.

Practitioners should be aware that many T2D patients starting semaglutide may not have optimal glucose control.

Most studies on lifestyle modifications in diabetes were of relatively short duration.

There is a need for more long-term studies on lifestyle modifications in diabetes.

Barriers to resistance exercise in people with type 2 diabetes are similar to those for aerobic exercise, with additional specific barriers.

Understanding barriers can help in designing interventions to promote resistance exercise.

25.3% of plastic surgeons prescribed or utilized GLP-1 agonists in their practice.

A significant portion of plastic surgeons are incorporating GLP-1 agonists into their practice.

57.8% of plastic surgeons believe GLP-1 agonists are profitable for business.

Many plastic surgeons see GLP-1 agonists as a profitable addition to their practice.

The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) among urbanized Tibetans is 37.6%.

Practitioners should be aware of the significant prevalence of MetS in this population.

No significant statistical association was established between the risk of MetS and the traditional Tibetan and urbanized diets.

Traditional Tibetan and urbanized diets may not be effective in influencing MetS risk.

The cancer-preventive effects of obesity pharmacotherapy are less understood.

Further research is needed to clarify the role of obesity pharmacotherapy in cancer prevention.

Carbohydrate-rich diets may contribute more to weight gain.

Practitioners should be cautious about the implications of carbohydrate-rich diets on weight management.

The integration of digital health and artificial intelligence is expected to advance antiobesity drug development.

Practitioners should consider how digital health tools and AI may enhance treatment strategies for obesity.

Those who reported use of prescription weight loss medication were significantly older and had significantly higher body mass index compared to those who did not report use.

Practitioners should consider age and BMI when assessing patients for prescription weight loss medications.

Eating disorder attitudes and behaviors were more prevalent among boys and men who used prescription weight loss medication.

Practitioners should monitor for eating disorder symptoms in patients using prescription weight loss medications.

70% of respondents disagreed that current SNAP benefit levels were adequate to maintain a healthy diet.

Practitioners should consider advocating for increased SNAP benefits to support healthier diets.

78% of respondents agreed that sugar-sweetened beverages should not be eligible for purchases with SNAP benefits.

Advocacy for policy changes to restrict unhealthy food options in SNAP could be supported by this consensus.

58% of respondents agreed that stores should stock a minimum quantity of healthful foods to be certified as a SNAP retailer.

Encouraging stores to offer more healthful food options could enhance SNAP's effectiveness.

Ultra-processed food consumption was higher on weekends compared to weekdays (NOVA Score 3.07 vs. 2.42; p < 0.01).

Practitioners should monitor weekend eating habits in patients post-surgery.

The consumption of fruits and vegetables was lower on weekends.

Encouraging fruit and vegetable intake on weekends may benefit post-surgery patients.

Consumption of hamburgers/sausages, sugar-sweetened beverages, boxed/canned juice, and frozen pizza increased on weekends.

Awareness of increased consumption of unhealthy foods on weekends can guide dietary recommendations.

The mean MEDLIFE score of the Spanish population was 15 ± 3.07, indicating average adherence to the Mediterranean diet.

Practitioners should note that adherence to the Mediterranean diet is average among the Spanish population.

All types of dietary variety increased from 1989–91 to 1994–96, except for food group variety which remained constant.

Practitioners should note the increase in dietary variety over time, which may influence dietary recommendations.

Higher BMI is associated with higher energy-dense variety and lower energy-weak variety.

Understanding the relationship between BMI and dietary variety can help in designing weight management strategies.
