Current Trends and Progress in Eating Disorders and Obesity Management

Dear Colleagues,

The prevalence of eating disorders is steadily increasing worldwide. The onset of these disorders is becoming progressively earlier, and their course is often chronic, which can lead to severe comorbidities and permanent disabilities over time. Novel intervention options are therefore needed to enhance current treatments and improve short- and long-term outcomes. In this regard, recent advances in research have led to significant progress in understanding the neurobiological and metabolic mechanisms underlying these disorders. At the same time, novel therapeutic approaches have been proposed, such as brain-direct interventions, neuromodulation, and metabolism-targeted treatments. Pharmacological interventions, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, have also proven to be an effective option in weight management with a significant impact on hunger/satiety signals and an improvement in cardiometabolic risk factors. In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit original research and review articles focusing on clinical advances in the pathophysiology, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of eating disorders and obesity.
