Obesity has long been mistakenly regarded as merely a “physical appearance issue” or a “lifestyle choice.” In October 2025, the iCARDIO Alliance Global Implementation Guidelines for Obesity Management 2025 (iCARDIO 2025 Guidelines for short) was officially released. It clearly defines obesity as a chronic, relapsing, multifactorial metabolic disease and places it at the core of […]
New Clues Linking Magnesium Levels, Coagulation Function and Microvascular Complications in Pediatric and Adolescent Type 1 Diabetes
Diabetic microangiopathy is a major cause of disability and long-term mortality in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). As an essential micronutrient in the human body, magnesium participates in a variety of enzymatic reactions and plays a vital role in maintaining intracellular homeostasis, bone metabolism, neuromuscular function, as well as regulating inflammation and coagulation. […]
Intervention and Treatment of Postmenopausal Sarcopenic Obesity
Exercise Intervention: Multiple guidelines recommend resistance training as the core strategy for treating SO. Studies in postmenopausal women confirm that regular resistance training can significantly improve muscle strength and body composition, including increasing lean body mass and reducing fat percentage, in a safe and feasible manner.Nutritional Intervention: According to the ESPEN (European Society for Clinical […]
Diagnosis of Postmenopausal Sarcopenic Obesity
At the 27th Annual Conference of the Chinese Society of Diabetes (CDS 2025), Professor Shen Jie from the Eighth Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University systematically elaborated on diagnostic approaches for postmenopausal sarcopenic obesity in this specific population.The European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) clearly states that low muscle strength is the […]
Pathogenesis of Postmenopausal Sarcopenic Obesity
During the 27th Annual Conference of the Chinese Society of Diabetes (CDS 2025), a premier event in the diabetes field, top experts and scholars from across the country gathered to conduct in-depth exchanges on cutting-edge topics in endocrinology and metabolism, yielding fruitful academic outcomes. At the conference, Professor Shen Jie from the Eighth Affiliated Hospital […]
Clinical Consensus on Glycemic Management: Emphasizing Both Efficacy and Safety, with Consideration for Weight Control and Long-Term Benefits
Professor Chen Haibing from Shanghai Tenth People’s Hospital (Affiliated Tenth People’s Hospital of Tongji University) points out that diabetes is a highly heterogeneous disease driven by multiple factors in its onset and progression. Meanwhile, patients with diabetes often present with various comorbidities and complications, requiring comprehensive consideration in management. Pharmacotherapy should be administered when necessary […]
The Core of Precision Obesity Treatment is Patient-Centered Individualized Diagnosis and Therapy
Professor Hong Tianpei of Peking University Third Hospital holds that, with the continuous emergence of novel weight-loss medications — such as more potent GLP‑1 agents, GIP/GLP‑1 dual-target and triple-target agonists — clinical decision-making has become increasingly complex. Individualized regimens should be formulated by integrating patient phenotypes, drug mechanisms, weight-loss magnitude, metabolic improvement effects, and safety […]
Precision: The Inevitable Trend for Future Obesity Management
Professor Hong Tianpei of Peking University Third Hospital delivered a keynote report entitled Precision Therapy for Obesity: Opportunities and Challenges at the 2025 Peking University Diabetes Forum & Coastal Changqiao Metabolic Diseases Research Symposium. He shared insights on why precision represents the inevitable trend in future obesity management.Professor Hong Tianpei pointed out that obesity has […]
Latest Study: Half of Women Experience Recurrent Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM), with Highly Predictable Risk
A recent study published in Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice shows that more than half of women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) experience recurrence in a subsequent pregnancy.Advanced maternal age and pre-pregnancy obesity are the strongest predictors of GDM recurrence. Other factors that significantly increase recurrence risk include a history of macrosomia, […]
CKD remission is most achievable when the disease is detected at an early stage
Given the profound implications of CKD remission for reducing the risk of premature death and kidney failure, we advocate establishing CKD remission as a clear and achievable clinical goal.CKD remission is most likely to be achieved when the disease is detected early — before substantial eGFR loss or severe albuminuria develops. Population-based screening combining eGFR […]
