Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As global obesity rates rise, uncovering the key predictors and interventions driving successful weight loss outcomes is imperative. This includes dietary, pharmacological, and surgical approaches, with timing and collaborative strategies essential for sustained success. The escalating prevalence of obesity-related health disorders, notably type 2 diabetes and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD)/non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), presents a pressing health challenge necessitating specialised attention. Nutritional status is crucial for both weight management and addressing health complications associated with obesity, including NAFLD/MAFLD and type 2 diabetes. It is imperative to advance our comprehension of predictors for favourable weight loss outcomes, alongside recent breakthroughs in diagnostic modalities and treatment strategies. This involves exploring novel methodologies, both surgical and non-surgical, to augment and refine weight loss achievements. This Special Issue invites authors to contribute original research and comprehensive reviews focusing on the role of nutritional status in individuals facing obesity-related health disorders, as well as recent advances in diagnostic techniques and treatment options for NAFLD/MAFLD and diabetes in the context of obesity. Furthermore, we invite papers investigating predictors of successful weight loss outcomes and interventions in a collective effort to have a comprehensive understanding of obesity-associated health disorders.
