Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of switching to once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who were previously treated with other glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in a real-world setting in Spain.
Methods: The REAL Life study of SEMaglutide in Patients with Type 2 diabetes in Spain (REALSEM-SP) was conducted in four endocrinology departments in Madrid, Spain. Adult patients with T2DM who were prescribed once-weekly (OW) subcutaneous semaglutide and had been previously treated with other GLP-1 RAs were included.
Background And Aims: Modifiable lifestyle factors, such as physical activity (PA) and Mediterranean diet (MD), decrease metabolic syndrome (MetS). The aim was to assess 1-year changes of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), sedentary behavior, and diet quality according to MetS severity in older population at high cardiovascular risk.
Methods And Results: Prospective analysis of 55-75-year-old 4359 overweight/obese participants with MetS (PREDIMED-Plus trial) categorized in tertiles according to 1-year changes of a validated MetS severity score (MetSSS).
One-year dietary quality change according to the preceding maximum weight in a lifestyle intervention program (PREDIMED-Plus trial, 55-75-year-old overweight or obese adults; = 5695) was assessed. A validated food frequency questionnaire was used to assess dietary intake. A total of 3 groups were made according to the difference between baseline measured weight and lifetime maximum reported weight: (a) participants entering the study at their maximum weight, (b) moderate weight loss maintainers (WLM), and (c) large WLM.

The percentage of diabetes attributable to weight gain amounts to more than 80% in many countries. This relationship is addressed in a Spanish Consensus Document from SEMI, SED, redGDPS, SEC, SEEDO, SEEN, SEMERGEN and SEMFYC published in 2015 and which gathers best available evidences.
