Featured Articles on Nutrition and Obesity Management (2nd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

Obesity has become one of the most prevalent metabolic disorders. Excess adiposity favors the development of cardiometabolic alterations such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia, fatty liver and cancer. In recent years, our understanding of the pathophysiology of obesity has greatly improved, and novel approaches for its treatment have emerged. However, the obesity pandemic continues without signs of abatement.

In this Special Issue, “Featured Articles on Nutrition and Obesity Management (2nd Edition)”, we welcome reviews and original articles related to any aspect of obesity management, from the traditional dietary approach (with different types of diets) to bariatric surgery, including pharmacologic treatments, with particular emphasis on recent successful combinations of drugs. We will also consider manuscripts regarding lifestyle modifications in relation to physical activity and sleep hygiene. Novel approaches such as the different modalities of intermittent fasting, including aspects relative to their effectiveness or the different physiological mechanisms involved, or the use of innovative technologies such as mobile apps or wearable devices, are very welcome. We aim to provide readers with a clear view of the pathophysiological relevance of weight loss and the improvements in cardiometabolic risk factors that occur with different therapeutic approaches, as well as the changes in body physiology and energy expenditure that drive weight regain. Original articles and reviews analyzing the clinical usefulness of predictors of treatment success and the importance of monitoring body composition in the management of patients living with obesity are also welcome.
