The appropriate term for the global epidemic of diet-induced NCDs is malnutrition, defined as poor dietary quality or composition.

Recognizing malnutrition as poor dietary quality can help in addressing diet-related health issues.

LIRE-BFR should be prescribed with caution to avoid unintended responses in arterial stiffness markers.

Practitioners should carefully consider the implications of LIRE-BFR on arterial stiffness when designing exercise programs.

A 'Westernized athletic diet' may be detrimental to restoring acid-base balance.

Athletes should consider the potential negative effects of high protein and carbohydrate diets on their acid-base balance.

Chronic low-grade metabolic acidosis can have detrimental effects on systemic health, physical performance, and inflammation.

Athletes should be aware that chronic low-grade metabolic acidosis can negatively impact their health and performance.

Ultra-processed foods are associated with poor mental health, aggression, and antisocial behavior.

Practitioners should consider the impact of ultra-processed foods on mental health and behavior.

Lean Six Sigma was used in a quality improvement effort to design a method for physicians to prescribe health coaching for healthy behaviors.

Practitioners can implement health coaching as part of patient care using structured methodologies like Lean Six Sigma.

A holistic approach is important in obesity management, considering individual needs.

Obesity management plans should be tailored to the individual.

A high body mass index is one of the strongest risk factors for new-onset chronic kidney disease.

Monitoring BMI can be crucial for kidney health assessments.

Obesity and overweight are linked to a higher risk of asthma.

Practitioners should consider weight management as a factor in asthma risk.

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) may be associated with obesity and asthma.

Reducing UPF consumption may benefit individuals at risk for obesity and asthma.

The increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the United States is partially attributed to the consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs).

Practitioners should consider the role of UPFs in dietary recommendations for preventing NCDs.

Low-carbohydrate, high-protein bread with 5% WSF meets the requirements for low-carbohydrate and high-protein food.

5% WSF can be used to create bread that aligns with low-carb, high-protein dietary goals.

Individual responses to interventions in sport and exercise science vary considerably.

Practitioners should consider individual variability when designing interventions.

Powerlifters reported significantly greater training durations than recreationally trained women.

Understanding training duration differences can help tailor training programs for powerlifters.

BMI and insulin use are jointly associated with one-year follow-up type 2 diabetes-related healthcare expenditures (T2D-HE), ranging from $5842 in overweight patients with no insulin to $17,700 in OCIII insulin users.

Healthcare providers can use BMI and insulin use to identify patients at higher risk for increased healthcare costs.

Insulin users incur at least double the one-year T2D-HE compared to non-users within each BMI category.

Insulin therapy significantly increases healthcare costs for patients with type 2 diabetes.

Acai supplementation increased Trolox-equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) by 11% after 24 hours compared to placebo.

Acai supplementation may enhance antioxidant capacity in men post-exercise.

The number of Black people who would require a lower dose or be precluded from using a medication increased by 24.7% to 50.2% due to the new eGFR formula.

Healthcare providers should adjust medication dosages for Black patients based on the new eGFR formula.

The changes to the eGFR formula may impact eligibility and/or dosing for antiobesity medications.

Practitioners should be aware of how the new eGFR formula affects treatment options for obesity.

Overweight status (including obesity) is the fourth most common risk factor for non-communicable chronic diseases.

This highlights the importance of addressing obesity in public health initiatives aimed at reducing chronic disease risk.

Metabolic health, rather than obesity, is a key predictor of adverse events in chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) prevention.

Practitioners should prioritize assessing metabolic health over BMI in cardiovascular risk evaluations.

Tirzepatide and cagrilintide-semaglutide are promising agents for adjunctive pharmacological management of weight gain in SMI.

Practitioners should consider these new agents as potential options for managing weight gain in SMI patients.

Approximately 80% of subjects had cholesterol levels outside recommended values after 6 years.

Monitoring cholesterol levels is important for older adults, even after exercise interventions.

There is a need to address perceived barriers to maintaining healthy behaviors to plan future activities.

Future interventions should consider the barriers identified to improve health promotion efforts.
