Article Synopsis
- The global rise in obesity has led to the need for clear guidelines combining medical, endoscopic, and surgical methods for effective treatment.
- An expert panel formed by IFSO-EC created evidence-based recommendations for treating adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, focusing on integrating lifestyle interventions and various weight loss techniques.
- These guidelines emphasize a comprehensive approach to obesity management, recognizing it as a complex, chronic disease that requires understanding all therapeutic options available.
Aims: The aim of the present study was to verify predictors of HbA1c reduction with Sodium-GLucose Transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 (GLP1) receptor agonists in routine clinical practice.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed, enrolling patients with type 2 diabetes aged ≥18 years who received a prescription of an SGLT2 inhibitor or a long-acting GLP1 receptor agonist with at least 6 months of persistence in therapy. Therapeutic success was defined as HbA1c reduction >10 mmol/mol or attainment of the recommended HbA1c target.

Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis
October 2021
Background And Aims: Vaccine Hesitancy (VH) is a relevant obstacle for the COVID-19 vaccination campaign. The aim of this study is to assess the proportion of subjects unwilling to vaccinate among patients with type 1 (T1DM) and 2 (T2DM) diabetes, exploring factors associated with VH.
Methods And Results: A purposely created interview was delivered from physicians to a consecutive series of adult (>18 years) subjects with diabetes referring to the Diabetes Outpatient Clinic of Careggi Hospital, Florence, from January 1st to April 30th 2021.
Background And Aims: Aim of the present study is to determine the role of obesity as a risk factor for COronaVirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) hospitalization.
Methods And Results: This observational study was performed using Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS) Tuscany COVID-19 database by the Agenzia Regionale Sanità (ARS), including all COVID-19 cases registered until April 30th, 2020, with reported information on chronic diseases. The principal outcome was hospitalization.
