This section welcomes manuscripts covering novel lifestyle-related practice and treatment topics related to the prevalence, prevention, and management of all types of metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, and obesity-related disorders across the lifespan (including childhood and adult obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome, metabolic syndrome, type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and other related metabolic disorders). We encourage submissions on prevention, management, and treatment strategies targeting modifiable risk factors through behavior change, including lifestyle practices such as eating patterns, nutrition, physical activity, stress management, psychosocial connections, and sleep patterns. Of particular interest are studies incorporating novel biometrics, digital approaches, telehealth, and other unique programming that serve populations who experience unique prevalence and are underrepresented.
