Yet, the onset of serious morbidities in early adulthood among otherwise healthy adolescents with obesity is understudied. We aimed to investigate the association between adolescent BMI and serious morbidities before age 25 years.<h3>Methods</h3>In this nationwide, retrospective cohort study, we included Israeli conscripts aged 17–21 years who underwent pre-recruitment medical evaluation between Jan 1, 1996, and Dec 31, 2017, were deemed medically eligible for military service, and were recruited to the Israeli Defense Forces between 1998 and 2018. Exclusion criteria were missing height or weight or service ineligibility for non-medical or medical reasons. Baseline BMI was converted into age-specific and sex-specific percentiles and classified using the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention categories. The primary outcome was incidence of serious morbidity disqualifying individuals from completing mandatory service. Participants were followed from enlistment until end of service (3 years for males and 2 years for females), onset of serious morbidity, or Dec 31, 2021. Cox models with adjustment to various socio-economic confounders were applied to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% CI for serious morbidity for the BMI categories.<h3>Findings</h3>A total of 1 264 355 adolescents aged 16–20 years were assessed for military service. 145 702 were excluded; 144 705 were considered ineligible for service (133 112 for non-medical reasons and 11 593 for medical reasons), and 2867 had missing height or weight data. The study included 1 118 653 individuals (622 989 [55·7%] males and 495 664 [44·3%] females), with 23 347 cases of serious morbidity recorded over 2 534 873 person-years. Incidence of serious morbidity increased across BMI groups in both sexes. Among males, compared with those with normal BMI, the adjusted HRs were 0·89 (95% CI 0·83–0·95) for underweight, 1·21 (1·16–1·27) for overweight, 1·39 (1·32–1·47) for obesity class 1, 2·82 (2·60–3·06) for obesity class 2, and 5·14 (4·37–6·04) for obesity class 3. For females, the respective ratios were HR 0·95 (95% CI 0·84–1·09) for underweight, 1·27 (1·17–1·37) for overweight, 1·63 (1·45–1·82) for obesity class 1, 4·00 (3·46–4·61) for obesity class 2, and 7·30 (5·65–9·43) for obesity class 3. Results persisted in sensitivity analyses restricted to those with unimpaired health at baseline or those in civilian-equivalent office employments.<h3>Interpretation</h3>Obesity in otherwise healthy adolescents was linked with increased risk of serious morbidity before age 25 years. Reducing adolescent obesity will have substantial short-term and long-term health benefits in young adults.<h3>Funding</h3>Sheba Medical Center.","PeriodicalId":48790,"journal":{"name":"The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":44.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142642662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

No approved therapies for patients younger than 6 years old currently exist. The phase 3, open-label VENTURE trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of setmelanotide in patients aged 2–5 years with POMC or LEPR deficiency or BBS.<h3>Methods</h3>This phase 3, open-label, multicentre trial, conducted across six sites in the USA, the UK, Spain, and Australia, enrolled eligible patients aged 2–5 years who had hyperphagia and obesity due to biallelic <em>POMC</em> (including <em>PCSK1</em>) or <em>LEPR</em> variants or genetically confirmed BBS. Open-label subcutaneous setmelanotide was administered once daily for 52 weeks, starting at 0·5 mg with doses increasing every 2 weeks in 0·5 mg increments until reaching the maximum dose based on weight. The co-primary endpoints at week 52 were the percentage of patients reaching a 0·2-point decrease or greater in BMI Z score (a statistical measure used to assess BMI in paediatric patients considering a patient's BMI and comparing it to reference values for the same age and sex) and mean percent change in BMI.

The hypothalamus contains major regulatory circuits for bodyweight homoeostasis, the deregulation of which can lead to obesity. Although functional perturbation of hypothalamic pathways could lie at the basis of common forms of obesity, the term hypothalamic obesity has been created to define those rare forms of severe obesity where a clear hypothalamic substrate can be identified, either of genetic or acquired origin. An in-depth understanding of the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and therapeutic targets of hypothalamic obesity relies on the comprehension of the physiological basis of hypothalamic pathways governing bodyweight control, the mechanisms (either genetic or acquired) whereby they are perturbed, and the consequences of such perturbation. In this Review, we provide a synoptic overview of hypothalamic obesity, from basic mechanisms to clinical perspectives, with a major focus on current developments and new avenues for the diagnosis and precise treatment of these rare forms of obesity.","PeriodicalId":48790,"journal":{"name":"The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":44.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142601202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to examine secular trends in the incidence of diagnosed type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes with an age of onset between 15 and 39 years.<h3>Methods</h3>In this multicountry aggregate data analysis, we assembled eight administrative datasets from high-income jurisdictions and countries (Australia, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Japan, Scotland, South Korea, and Spain [Catalonia]) that had appropriate data available from an international diabetes consortium (GLOBODIAB) describing incidence by diabetes type among people aged 15–39 years from 2000 to 2020.

Over time, there was no statistically significant change in the incidence of type 1 diabetes in Hungary and Japan. The incidence of type 1 diabetes significantly increased in Australia, Denmark, Finland, Scotland, South Korea, and Spain, with annual changes ranging from 0·5% to 6·0%. The incidence of type 2 diabetes significantly increased in four of eight jurisdictions (Denmark, Finland, Japan, and South Korea), with annual increases from 2·0% to 8·5%.
