The report explores the transformation of obesity care from generalized BMI-based treatment to AI-enabled precision metabolic management. The study highlights how obesity is increasingly recognized as a heterogeneous, multi-pathway disease influenced by genetic, neurobehavioral, metabolic, and environmental factors, requiring personalized therapeut...

The increasing disposable incomes in developing countries have contributed to a sedentary lifestyle worldwide. The advent of food delivery apps has also increased accessibility to various culinary delights. These factors have contributed mainly to obesity and other lifestyle diseases. People with a body mass index (BMI) of more than or equal to...

Globally, diagnosis of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity have increased. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the global prevalence of obesity has worsened. Obesity is considered a main precursor of diabetes and contributes an estimated 80% to 85% toward the risk of type 2 diabetes. As a result, the financial burden associated with hea...

Obesity and diabetes are areas of growing concern across both, developed and developing countries. The rising geriatric population is likely to contribute to an increased prevalence of obesity and diabetes across the global landscape. Biomarker research is likely to facilitate the emergence of novel tools that may be useful for enhanced management ...

Magnesium is the second most essential mineral and functions as a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme reactions that regulate various biochemical functions, including muscle and nerve contractions, blood glucose and blood pressure control, and protein synthesis, among others. The mineral is not only essential for maintaining healthy bone and joint he...

This study focuses on emerging pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies in the treatment of obesity, as well as evolving new paradigms for the future. It describes the contribution of incretin-based therapies, particularly GLP-1 receptor agonists and their multi-agonist counterparts, which provide robust effects on weight loss and metabol...

Calcium is an essential mineral that plays a vital role in the anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry of organisms and of the cell. The mineral is available in different forms; however, carbonates and citrates are the primary forms used in dietary supplements. Gluconates, lactates, and phosphates are the other forms that have gained a level of inter...

Vitamin E is a group of fat-soluble substances which are structurally and biologically related to the tocopherol family. Naturally, vitamin E exists in eight different forms (alpha-, beta-, delta-, and gamma- tocopherols and tocotrienols); however, alpha-tocopherols are the most used form due to their high biological activity. Although, vitamin E...

Coenzyme Q10 also known as ubiquinone, is a fat-soluble vitamin-like compound, which acts as a cofactor and is required by large and complex enzymes to carry out their functions. CoQ10 is available in three redox states: fully oxidized (ubiquinone), semiquinone (ubisemiquinone), and fully reduced (ubiquinol), of which ubiquinone is the most widely-...
