Obesity is classified as clinical or preclinical, with management centered on prevention, personalization, and functional health outcomes

A global analysis spotlighted a 57.6% reduction in pediatric pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)-related mortality and a 63.5% decline in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) between 1990 and 2021. In 2021, India saw the highest number of deaths (295) and DALYs (26,219), though both reflected a ~57% decrease since 1990. Early diagnosis and improved treatment strategies are needed to lower the burden of PAH.

A latest meta-analysis revealed that men are more likely to develop Mycobacterium tuberculosis immunoreactivity than women. By age 30, men showed 1.4 times higher conversion rates, with male-to-female prevalence ratios increasing with age—1.07 in teens, 1.13 in adults aged 20-39, and 1.28 in those over 40. Researchers suggest that higher exposure and longer infectious periods may contribute to this disparity.

Long-term research showed that effective diabetes control may protect against eye diseases. Compared to those with controlled diabetes (HbA1c < 6.5), uncontrolled or undiagnosed diabetes (HbA1c ≥ 6.5) elevated the risk of diabetic eye disease (OR 1.20) and macular degeneration (OR 1.38), while non-diabetics had a 1.29 times increased risk of glaucoma. Blood sugar control showed no link with cataract risk.

A global meta-analysis of over 63,000 pregnant women highlighted that those with isolated hypothyroxinemia had a heightened risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) compared to euthyroidism (6.5% vs. 3.5%). Low free thyroxine (FT4) levels, elevated free triiodothyronine (FT3), and a high FT3-to-FT4 ratio also increased the risk of GDM. No link was seen for TSH and thyroid antibodies.
