Importance: Phase 3 trials have not compared oral semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, with other classes of glucose-lowering therapy.
Objective: To compare efficacy and assess long-term adverse event profiles of once-daily oral semaglutide vs sitagliptin, 100 mg added on to metformin with or without sulfonylurea, in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group, phase 3a trial conducted at 206 sites in 14 countries over 78 weeks from February 2016 to March 2018.
Aims: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have increased risk of adverse events (AEs; e.g. dehydration, hypoglycaemia) in hot weather.

Material And Methods: Overweight and obesity were defined by body mass index (BMI), depression and anxiety according to "The Hospital Anxiety and Depressio Scale". Patients received a physical and biochemical evaluation, a hypochaloric diet and a training plan.
Objective: To determine whether the association between family history of diabetes (FHD) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) is independent of body mass index (BMI) in children and adolescents.
Methods: In all 443 (11.9%) children and adolescents with FHD, and 3280 (88.
Published data on the distribution of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) in children are scarce. We therefore set out to examine the distribution of FPG and determine the prevalence of impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and type 2 diabetes (T2-DM) in Mexican children aged 6-18 years in a community-based cross-sectional study. A total of 1534 apparently healthy children were randomly enrolled and underwent an oral glucose tolerance test.

Many items in the questionnaires have also been implied in the overweight and obesity etiology.
Objective: To describe the factors associated with obesity in subjects of 6-7 years and 13-14 years in the ISAAC survey in Mexico City.
Aim: The aim of this study is to describe the percentile distribution of the waist circumference in Mexican pre-pubertal children living in an urban, middle-income area.
Methods: Children, aged 6-10, from a primary school, located in a middle-income area in Mexico City were included (n=833). Anthropometric measurements were made in the case of all children by using standardized procedures.
Objective: To establish the prevalence of overweight and obesity in Mexican children 10 to 17 years of age according to the percentiles from both the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF).
Research Methods And Procedures: Heights and weights were measured in children from nationally representative, randomly chosen households in the Mexican National Health Survey 2000. The study population consisted of 7862 boys and 8947 girls, 10 to 17 years of age.
