Among 60,327 Indians, 73.7% consumed at least one FAFH meal/week. Young adults, men, urban residents, and college-educated individuals had the highest intake. Obesity was more common in those eating ≥2 FAFH meals/week (18%) vs. normal-weight individuals (12.7%). These patterns call for public health interventions targeting dietary habits and metabolic risk

In a VA-based study of semaglutide users without diabetes, those who engaged in lifestyle intervention (LI) via the MOVE! program saw greater weight loss both during treatment (−8.3% vs. −7.4%) and 12 months post-discontinuation (−5.8% vs. −3.3%) compared to non-LI peers. LI appeared to enhance initial weight loss and mitigate post-treatment weight regain.

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) reduced hypoxia risk in obese patients undergoing sedated upper GI endoscopy. Desaturation events were markedly lower in nCPAP groups (7.6%) compared to standard nasal cannula oxygen (25.3%). Patients on nCPAP also had higher minimum oxygen saturation levels (97.1% vs. 95.9%). Older age predicted desaturation, with nasal cannula users facing higher odds (OR 5.4).

Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) frequently cluster and progress overtime in CD. Their prevalence increased from 21.1% at diagnosis to 47.3% at 25 years. Peripheral arthritis showed strong ties with other EIMs, including axial spondiloarthropathy, skin and ocular involvement and thromboembolism. Oral ulcers frequently co-occurred with multiple systemic EIMs. Joint involvement and skin lesions were most common.

New research showed that adults with atopic dermatitis (AD) experiencing frequent or unstable flares had a higher mental health burden than those with stable disease. Patients with <6 flares/year reported lower anxiety and depression scores (3 and 1), while those with 14 or more flares had 2-3 times higher scores (anxiety: 4-6; depression: 2-3). Findings support incorporation of flare patterns into treatment planning

New evidence pinpointed key reproductive factors linked to higher peripheral arterial disease (PAD) risk in women. Early (<12 y) or late (>14 y) menarche increased PAD risk by 43% and 36%, resp. Risk increased per miscarriage (aHR 1.06), stillbirth (1.18), and abortion (1.09). Hysterectomy and oophorectomy each raised PAD risk by 24%. A U-shaped link was seen between the number of children and PAD risk in both sexes.
