A new #obesity definition that combined BMI and anthropometric measures increased prevalence by 60% and more effectively identified those at higher risk for organ dysfunction and complications.

New @MassGenBrigham study shows a dramatic increase in percentage of U.S. adults who meet the new definition of #obesity, with the new percentage being closer to 70%, instead of the previous 42.9%.

Serving as a discussant on the Case Records of the MGH has been a dream of mine since med school. Honored to have cared for this patient and to be a part of this work in collaboration with @KaitlynShankMD, Rebecca Brown, and @StephenORahilly.

In the latest Case Records of the MGH (@MassGeneralNews), a 46-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes was admitted because of hyperglycemia for which she was receiving over 2000 units of insulin per day. A diagnosis was made. Read the full case: https://t.co/99rwsvz5lb

A study led by #MGH physicians Andrea Edlow MD and Lindsay @FourmanL MD was covered by @GoHealio. The study found that infants exposed to COVID19 in utero had a lower birth weight and greater weight gain during the first year of life than those not exposed https://t.co/1YdWiqyDue

ICYMI: "Our findings provide compelling evidence of the need for more research on long-term health sequelae among children born to mothers with #COVID19." @FourmanL @EdlowLab @EndoMedia @healiowomen https://t.co/cVSMPU1jHa

Great collaboration with @EdlowLab showing potential long-term cardiometabolic risk in babies born to mothers with COVID-19 during pregnancy. @mghmetu

[Edlow Lab @EdlowLab]

Appreciated the opportunity to collaborate with @FourmanL on this impt work. Altered growth trajectories in infants born to mothers with COVID-19 in pregnancy may presage increased cardiometabolic risk. Great team inc @LydiaShook10 @DrCarmenMD & many not on Twitter. @MGH_RI

A new weight loss drug could become the best-selling drug of all time.

In 2023, the FDA will likely approve the diabetes drug #tirzepatide for weight loss — but there's little indication insurers will widely cover the medication.

Tragic & shortsighted

@JJheart_doc @pnatarajanmd @TheFHFoundation @hannahmiksenas I’ve wanted to dedicate a Metabolic Disorders Conference to this topic for some time. I’ll be in touch in a few months when planning next year’s schedule!

Need another opinion to solve a patient’s metabolic
mystery? We’re here for you! The new MGH Lipid
and Metabolism Associates is accepting new patients.

At Metabolic Disorders Conference this month, we emphasized the importance of lifestyle changes in the management of hypertriglyceridemia. What is your diet of choice for patients with DM2 who present with high triglycerides? @mghmetu @MGHMedicine @TheEndoSociety #MedTwitter

[Lindsay Fourman @FourmanL]

Great discussion at Metabolic Disorders Conference this week on CVD in patients with DM2. In Cleveland Clinic study, metabolic surgery in patients with DM2 was associated with reduced incidence of MACE. #JAMA @mghmetu @MGHMedicine @Ali_Aminian_MD

Did you know? People with HIV are more likely to have chronic inflammation in the body, which can impact the heart in people living with HIV. To learn more, follow our page for updates/study opportunities!

Happy New Year! We are excited to kick off this year with our new social media pages. We are a research unit at MGH focused on metabolic issues and conditions. Be sure to follow us here and on Facebook (https://t.co/XKypWg9CXX) to stay updated on our studies and findings!

Looking forward to presenting our work today on effects of tesamorelin on proteomic signatures in HIV-associated NAFLD. Downregulation of key pathways involved in fibrogenesis and inflammation. @raychungmd @kathleencoreymd @takarastanley #TLMdX
