Another person I know has started taking obesity drugs. Now I know two. Sure, they know that they may have to take them for a long time, if not forever. But do they know that there have been no long term trials of these drugs?

The article says #obesity plays a role, maybe the GLP-1s will start bending that curve a bit, but I honestly think a lot of it is lack of #healthcare access for GenX, they are by far the hardest hit with ACA #healthinsurance price increases, may not be keeping up with PCP, screening, etc

Prevention AND treatment must go hand in hand.

No silver bullet. Obesity is complex - and linked to 200+ conditions.

We need prevention, early intervention, and access to care - all working together.

Obesity, sleep, smoking, and inactivity show the strongest links to hypertension in U.S. adults A national U.S. analysis shows that weight, sleep, smoking, and exercise habits may matter more for hypertension than overall diet score alone, with sodium still standing out as an important dietary factor. Study: Association Between Life’s Essential 8 Lifestyle Behaviors and Hypertension: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of NHANES Data. Image Credit: NMK-Studio / Shutterstock In a recent study published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, researchers investigated associations between five lifestyle behaviors from the Life’s Essential 8 (LE8) framework and hypertension. The cross-sectional study analyzed National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 20,912 adults to examine the association between recommended lifestyle behaviors and hypertension. Results indicated a high prevalence of hypertension (52.7%) and identified significant independent associations between hypertension and modifiable health behaviors. Adherence to healthier LE8 behaviors was associated with lower odds of hypertension, although causality and cardiovascular outcomes were not directly assessed. Background Hypertension, commonly referred to as high blood pressure, is a chronic condition characterized by persistently elevated force of blood against arterial walls. Often described as a “silent killer” due to its lack of overt symptoms, it is strongly associated with cardiovascular disease and increased mortality risk. Although pharmacological treatments are widely used, growing evidence,...
