Treatment persistence was high, with 80% of patients completing 6 months of therapy.

High treatment persistence suggests that patients are likely to continue tirzepatide therapy.

Gastrointestinal adverse events were the most frequently reported but rarely led to treatment discontinuation.

Practitioners should monitor for gastrointestinal side effects but can expect them to be manageable.

From 1999 to 2018, the estimated percentage of total energy from consumption of ultraprocessed foods increased from 61.4% to 67.0%.

Practitioners should be aware of the increasing trend in ultraprocessed food consumption among youths.

The percentage of total energy from consumption of unprocessed or minimally processed foods decreased from 28.8% to 23.5% from 1999 to 2018.

Practitioners should note the decline in consumption of unprocessed foods among youths.

There was a significantly larger increase in the estimated percentage of energy from ultraprocessed foods among non-Hispanic Black youths and Mexican American youths compared to non-Hispanic White youths.

Practitioners should consider demographic factors when addressing dietary habits among youths.

Participation in leisure time physical activity is low but has remained relatively constant.

Encouraging increased leisure time physical activity could help address obesity.

GLP-1 RA use remained low overall for treatment of T2D, particularly among patients with ASCVD.

Clinicians should recognize the need for increased GLP-1 RA prescribing, especially for patients with ASCVD.

Lifestyle modifications have limited long-term success in reducing adiposity and blood pressure in patients with obesity.

Practitioners should consider alternative strategies beyond lifestyle modifications for effective obesity management.

Adding protein or additional carbohydrate to a feeding strategy providing 1.2 g CHO x kg(-1) x h(-1) did not enhance glycogen resynthesis during recovery.

Practitioners should note that simply adding protein or extra carbohydrates may not improve glycogen recovery beyond recommended carbohydrate intake.

Intervals at 100% PP and 80% PP do not produce statistically significant enhancements in performance.

Avoid relying on 100% and 80% PP intervals for performance gains in cycling time-trials.

Resistance training frequency does not significantly or meaningfully impact muscle hypertrophy when volume is equated.

Individuals can choose their training frequency based on personal preference as it does not affect hypertrophy when volume is matched.

There were no correlations between energy balance and either carbohydrate or protein balances.

Practitioners should note that energy balance does not correlate with carbohydrate or protein intake in this context.

Fat, rather than carbohydrate or protein, is almost exclusively used or stored in response to day-to-day fluctuations in energy balance.

Practitioners should focus on fat metabolism when addressing energy balance fluctuations.

There is a need for more accurate measures of muscle mass and function for diagnosing sarcopenia.

Practitioners should seek to utilize more accurate measurement tools for assessing sarcopenia.

There is a significant and growing public interest in Ozempic and related GLP-1 agonists.

Healthcare providers should be prepared for increased inquiries about these medications.

SNAP participants had less improvement in AHA diet scores compared to income-eligible nonparticipants and higher-income individuals, with a change in mean score of 0.57 for SNAP participants versus 2.56 and 3.84 for the other groups.

SNAP participants may need targeted interventions to improve their diet quality.

Disparities in diet quality persisted for most foods and nutrients among US adults, with worsening disparities for processed meats, added sugars, and nuts and seeds.

Efforts to address dietary disparities should focus on specific food groups that are worsening.

Global mean intake of processed meat was 17 g/day, with mean national intakes of at least one serving per day for processed meat in countries representing 6.9% of the global population.

Health professionals should consider the prevalence of processed meat consumption in their dietary recommendations.

Fat adaptation did not significantly improve performance in a 1-h time trial after prolonged cycling.

Athletes should consider that fat adaptation may not enhance performance in all scenarios.

The food industry influences government nutrition policies and marketing practices.

Awareness of industry influence can guide healthier food choices.

The food industry prioritizes economic interests over health in its marketing strategies.

Recognizing the economic motivations can help consumers make informed choices.

In general populations, fish consumption of 350 g/week or more is not associated with risk of major CVD or total mortality.

For the general population, increasing fish intake beyond 350 g/week may not provide additional cardiovascular benefits.

UCP-3 may be a determinant of energy expenditure and metabolic efficiency in Pima Indians.

Recognizing the role of UCP-3 in energy expenditure could lead to targeted interventions for metabolic health.

The quality of evidence supporting the recommendations on sugar intake is low to very low.

Practitioners should be cautious in applying these guidelines due to low evidence quality.
