If all eligible individuals received medically tailored meals (MTMs), an estimated 1,594,000 hospitalizations could potentially be averted in 1 year.

Healthcare providers should consider the potential benefits of MTMs in reducing hospitalizations for eligible patients.

Current therapy interventions for NAFLD are mainly focused on progressive weight loss through modulation of overall calorie intake with or without specific macronutrient adjustments.

Practitioners should focus on calorie intake modulation for weight loss in NAFLD management.

Other relevant nutritional interventions for NAFLD include food selection and time-restricted eating.

Incorporating food selection and time-restricted eating may benefit NAFLD management.

Liquid meal replacements in weight loss diets lead to a mean reduction in body weight of −2.37 kg (95% CI −3.30 to −1.44).

Incorporating liquid meal replacements can aid in weight loss for individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Liquid meal replacements lead to a mean reduction in HbA1c of −0.43% (−4.7 mmol/mol [−7.2 to −2.1]).

Liquid meal replacements may help improve glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Improving diet, activity level, and medication adherence, as well as controlling tobacco and other substance use, produces measurable, cost-effective improvements in health outcomes.

Practitioners should focus on these behavioral factors to enhance health outcomes.

GLP1-RA treatment is associated with improvements in restrained eating and emotional eating behavior compared with placebo.

GLP1-RAs may help improve eating behaviors in this population.

Power training (PT) was associated with an improvement in physical function compared to traditional strength training in older adults.

Practitioners may consider incorporating power training into exercise programs for older adults to enhance physical function.

Power training was associated with an improvement in self-reported physical function compared to traditional strength training.

Incorporating power training may enhance older adults' self-perception of physical function.

In severely obese patients with previous myocardial infarction, metabolic surgery is associated with a lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (18.7% vs 36.2%).

Metabolic surgery may significantly reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events in this patient population.

The low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) arm lost an average of 12.3 kg compared to a loss of 0.60 kg in the control arm (P < 0.001).

Implementing a low-carbohydrate diet may significantly aid in weight loss for men with recurrent prostate cancer.

Effective treatment of obesity is necessary to reduce the associated burdens of diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and death.

Practitioners should prioritize obesity treatment to mitigate serious health risks.

Weight loss interventions can impact both traditional and novel cardiovascular disease risk factors.

Weight loss strategies should consider their effects on cardiovascular health.

Mean percentage weight change at 1 year was -5.1% with semaglutide compared to -2.2% with liraglutide (P < .001).

Semaglutide may be more effective than liraglutide for weight loss in clinical practice.

Obesity as a treatment indication was associated with a higher likelihood of achieving a 10% or greater weight reduction (AOR, 2.46).

Patients with obesity may experience better weight loss outcomes compared to those with type 2 diabetes.

Persistent medication coverage was associated with a higher likelihood of achieving a 10% or greater weight reduction (AOR, 3.36).

Ensuring patients maintain their medication regimen may significantly improve weight loss outcomes.

Mitigation of sarcopenia can be achieved by consumption of higher quality protein in sufficient quantities, greater than approximately 0.8 g/kg bodyweight/d.

Older adults should aim for higher protein intake than the current recommendations to help prevent sarcopenia.

A proposed per-meal target for protein intakes is set at approximately 0.4-0.6 g protein/kg bodyweight/meal for older persons.

Older adults should aim for 0.4-0.6 g of protein per kg of body weight per meal to support muscle health.

More even patterns of protein intake are associated with increased muscle mass and improved muscle function.

Encouraging older adults to distribute their protein intake evenly throughout the day may enhance muscle mass and function.

Weight change at 6 months was -4.31% for the standardized group and -3.26% for the personalized group.

Both diet approaches resulted in weight loss, but the standardized low-fat diet was more effective.

Tirzepatide facilitated an average 18.5% weight loss (>46 pounds) in overweight and obese patients with type 1 diabetes at 1 year.

Practitioners may consider tirzepatide as an effective option for weight management in this patient population.

Body fat was reduced to very low levels (∼5%) immediately before competition, but this corresponded with a loss of lean mass.

Practitioners should be aware that extreme fat loss can lead to loss of lean mass.

The implementation of a carb deplete and carb load peaking strategy acutely increased muscle thickness and may be a viable precontest approach to maximize muscular aesthetics.

Practitioners may consider carb manipulation strategies to enhance muscle aesthetics before competitions.

Increased loading as resistance training is the most potent nonpharmacological strategy by which skeletal muscle mass can be increased.

Practitioners should prioritize resistance training for clients aiming to increase muscle mass.
