Combining GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and Health-Behaviour and Lifestyle Therapy Yields Higher Adherence and Reduces Session Needs for Successful Weight Management in Adolescence: An Observational Real-World Single-Center Study
Jun 1, 2026
The authors aimed to evaluate the impact of health behavior and lifestyle therapy (HBLT) on the effectiveness of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) in treating obesity in adolescents. Their findings indicate that combining HBLT with GLP-1RA treatment significantly improves adherence and leads to greater reductions in body mass index (BMI), suggesting that HBLT is crucial for enhancing the persistence and efficacy of GLP-1RAs in this population.
Genotype-Phenotype Spectrum of Non-Syndromic Monogenic Obesity in a National Paediatric Cohort
May 29, 2026
The authors aimed to clarify the genotype-phenotype and metabolic correlations of non-syndromic monogenic obesity caused by defects in the leptin-melanocortin pathway in a national pediatric cohort. They found that biallelic variants in LEPR and monoallelic variants in MC4R were the most common causes of severe obesity, with distinct metabolic profiles and growth impairments associated with these genotypes. The study highlights the need for early diagnosis and risk stratification based on genetic findings, particularly for those with more severe metabolic outcomes.
Long-Term Effectiveness of a School- and Community-Based Intervention for the Prevention of Childhood Obesity in High-Risk Families Across Europe: The Feel4Diabetes Study
May 28, 2026
The authors aimed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of the Feel4Diabetes intervention in preventing childhood obesity among high-risk families in Europe. The study found that children from high-risk families who participated in the intervention showed a significant reduction in BMI z-scores compared to those in the control group, highlighting the intervention's potential in addressing obesity in socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Additionally, various predictors of weight improvement were identified, emphasizing the need for equity-oriented approaches in obesity prevention.
