Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue entitled “Clinical Management for Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: 2nd Edition.” Building upon the success of our first edition, which featured 12 published papers, we are excited to launch this new volume.

It is an honor to present this Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine. Obesity, and childhood obesity in particular, is now recognized as one of the major pandemics of the early 21st century.
The concurrent COVID-19 pandemic not only underscored the critical need for global action against health crises, but it also contributed to a surge in obesity and metabolic syndrome cases following mandatory quarantine periods. Notably, the prevalence of childhood obesity has reached 30–50% in certain populations across Southern Europe, the Americas, and developing nations.
As a result, children with obesity face a high risk of chronic illness in adulthood, and we are increasingly observing the early onset of traditionally adult conditions—such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)—within pediatric populations.
The emergence of novel diagnostic challenges, the adoption of advanced screening protocols, and the growing clinical significance of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) are reshaping the field.
Coupled with the rising tide of new GLP-1 receptor agonists, these advancements will not only transform the paradigm for diagnosing and monitoring these patients but also offer profound hope for the future.
We look forward to receiving your valuable submissions to this Special Issue.
