Objective: To determine the prevalence rate and associated risk factors for each stage of the Dysglycemia-Based Chronic Disease (DBCD) model, which 4 distinct stages and prompts early prevention to avert Diabetes and cardiometabolic complications.
Methods: Subjects between 25 and 64 years old from a random population-based sample were evaluated in Czechia from 2013 to 2014 using a cross-sectional design. DBCD stages were: stage 1 "insulin resistance" (inferred risk from abdominal obesity or a family history of diabetes); stage 2 "prediabetes"(fasting glucose between 5.

Many obese people have a history of several successful weight losses, but very few are able to maintain the weight loss over a longer period of time. Initiation of the GLP1 RA administration during weight loss maintenance would inhibit weight loss-induced increases in soluble leptin receptor plasma concentrations resulting in higher level of free leptin thereby preventing weight regain.
