Once-weekly semaglutide use in patients with type 2 diabetes: Real-world data from the SURE Italy observational study.

Aims: SURE Italy, a multicentre, prospective, open-label, observational, real-world study, investigated once-weekly semaglutide in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in routine clinical practice.

Materials And Methods: Adults with T2D and ≥1 documented glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) level within 12 weeks of semaglutide initiation were enrolled. The primary endpoint was change in HbA1c from baseline to end of study (EOS; ~30 weeks).

Physical activity, adiposity and urbanization level in children: results for the Italian cohort of the IDEFICS study.

Objectives: While there is extensive evidence about the influence of environmental factors on adult obesity, fewer studies have assessed how the environment influences body fat in children. This cross-sectional study investigated the distribution of adiposity indices according to urbanization level and patterns of physical activity among children in the Italian cohort of the IDEFICS study.

Methods: The sample included 1673 preschool and school-aged children (mean age 6.

Glycaemic index and body fat distribution in children: the results of the ARCA project.

The present study aimed at evaluating the association between dietary GI, body mass index (BMI) and body fat distribution in school children.
