Useful review on Childhood obesity @JAMANetwork It is not simply a weight issue.  It is associated with cardiometabolic disease, poorer quality of life and a 5-fold greater likelihood of obesity in adulthood. Early identification and evidence-based treatment matter. Prevention is important, but so is access to effective care. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam… @AskDrShashank

Overweight/obesity and psychological distress don’t just coexist ..together they may amplify the risk of long-term sickness absence. In nearly 4,000 working-age adults: 📈 Short Sickness Absence : RR 1.62 📈 Long Sickness Absence : RR 2.48 ⚠️ Evidence of synergy for longer absences A reminder that obesity care must address mental as well as physical health. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4226… @AskDrShashank

Only 22 of 610 diabetes real-world data databases were from lower- and middle-income countries. Our global review led by @drpratikc @JonahTh0mas @MadderJules 🌍 610 databases across 74 countries 🇪🇺 193 in Europe 📊 Demographics, prescriptions and biochemistry were commonly captured 📉 Mortality and CGM data were much less available 🔓 Very few datasets were open access A new online dashboard maps the global diabetes RWD landscape but highlights a major gap in global representation. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… with @ShivaniM_KC et al @AskDrShashank

Does cost make a difference in terms of choice of weight loss drug prescribing? Real-world obesity treatment at scale: 📊 >1 million UK adults using telehealth 💉 90% started tirzepatide 💷 A major price rise shifted prescribing towards semaglutide 🔄 Switching increased sharply ⚖️ 12-month weight loss: • Tirzepatide 19.9% • Semaglutide 16.4% A striking example of how price, access and effectiveness shape real-world obesity care. @AskDrShashank @drpratikc @ClareHambling dom-pubs.onlinelibrary.wiley…

Diabetic foot ulcers are more than a wound. Our study led by Molly Caba and @MichelleHadji DFUs can affect mobility, weight, mood, mental health and future cardiovascular risk. Interviews with people living with T2D and DFUs highlighted major unmet needs: 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 shared decision-making 🦶 better physical support 🧠 access to psychological care DFU pathways need to be truly holistic. @uniofleicester @profmjdavies
