Bariatric surgery resulted in an overall 25.8% weight reduction, outperforming lifestyle and pharmacotherapy interventions.

Bariatric surgery may be the most effective intervention for significant weight loss in obese individuals.

Obesity has been shown to be a risk factor for nephrolithiasis and kidney cancer.

Addressing obesity may reduce the risk of kidney stones and cancer.

Food is Medicine (FIM) interventions link food security, nutrition security, health, and health equity integrated into health care delivery.

Practitioners should consider integrating FIM interventions into health care to address food and nutrition security.

The rate of hospitalisations for stable angina pectoris (SAP) was lower by two-thirds after bariatric surgery in obese adults.

Bariatric surgery may significantly reduce hospitalisation rates for SAP in obese patients.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to dietary recommendations for the management and treatment of chronic diseases such as obesity.

Practitioners should consider individualized dietary recommendations rather than a standard approach.

There were no statistical differences in SMM and total strength improvements between the narrow and wide repetition zones.

Both repetition zones are equally effective for muscle and strength gains in older women.

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the best treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Practitioners should prioritize CPAP as the primary treatment for patients diagnosed with OSA.

Telemedicine may improve compliance with CPAP treatment for obstructive sleep apnea.

Incorporating telemedicine strategies may help practitioners improve patient adherence to CPAP therapy.

The Diet Satisfaction Score consists of 10 items measuring one dimension with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.85.

Clinicians can use the Diet Satisfaction Score to assess diet satisfaction reliably.

Test-retest reliability of the Diet Satisfaction Score was good with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.64.

The Diet Satisfaction Score can be reliably used over time in clinical settings.

Each 1-point increase in Diet Satisfaction Score was associated with longer diet duration by 1.7 weeks.

Higher diet satisfaction may lead to longer adherence to dietary changes.

34.9% of coronary heart disease (CHD) patients were obese at hospitalization.

Practitioners should be aware that a significant proportion of CHD patients are obese.

19.5% of obese patients lost ≥5% of weight by the time of the study visit.

Weight loss interventions may be effective for a minority of obese CHD patients.

There is no single mode of physical activity that is superior for weight loss or prevention of weight gain.

Advise clients that various forms of physical activity can be effective for weight management, and they should choose what they enjoy.

Factors linked to greater weight loss on liraglutide include being female, not having diabetes, having relatively high baseline weight, and losing at least 4% of initial weight after 16 weeks of treatment.

Healthcare providers should consider these factors when predicting weight loss outcomes for patients on liraglutide.

Baseline body mass index, race, and age seem less relevant for predicting weight-loss response to liraglutide.

Providers may deprioritize these factors when assessing weight loss potential with liraglutide.

Genetics and genomics can be used as tools to optimize weight management intervention.

Incorporating genetic and genomic insights may enhance the effectiveness of weight management strategies.

Respondents tripled their average per capita consumption of whole grains and increased their fruit and vegetable intakes.

Educational interventions can lead to significant increases in whole grain and fruit/vegetable consumption among college students.

Time‐dependent changes were observed for increase in trunk FFM.

Resistance training can lead to increases in trunk fat-free mass over time, regardless of supplementation.

Dietitians' current practice of dietary pattern advice provision to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is perceived to be individualised and patient-centred.

Dietitians should continue to tailor dietary advice to individual patient needs.

The optimal CCT scheme can depend on people's age.

Tailoring CCT programs to different age groups may enhance their effectiveness.

There were no significant differences between conventional deadlift (CDL) 1RM and sumo deadlift (SDL) 1RM.

Both deadlift styles may be equally effective for beginners.

Total repetitions to volitional fatigue was higher in females compared to males for both lifts.

Female beginners may have better endurance in deadlifting.

Suboptimal diet contributes to an estimated 3.04 million new cancer cases among US adults aged 20 years or older over a lifetime.

Healthcare practitioners should be aware of the significant impact of diet on cancer incidence.
