A 3-year study of tirzepatide in participants with obesity and prediabetes showed substantial and sustained weight reduction and decreased risk of progression to diabetes with tirzepatide, as compared with placebo. Full SURMOUNT-1 trial results: https://t.co/5TTgJfbKyo

Three years ago, I set out to create a DAG for my research but found limited guidance. This led to a scoping review, including an illustrative case from health psychology. I hope it helps researchers explore and use DAGs in their work!

New #bloodpressure measurement devices such as cuff-less wrist monitors are likely to play an important role in future – but several challenges remain before these new technologies can be introduced widely - new @ISHBP position paper out today.

The @US_FDA proposal to allow use of salt substitutes (aka Potassium salt) for processed food

Until now, FDA has *prohibited* using salt substitute

Helpful review of potassium-enriched salt substitutes for #hypertension. But how to find them? I found some online with 50% or more potassium, but those can taste bitter. Has anyone been able to find 25% potassium salt in the US market?
