Declining or Waning
- Traditional Weight Loss Diets:
Research focusing solely on traditional weight loss diets is becoming less prevalent, as the focus shifts towards more integrated and personalized approaches to obesity management. - Solely Pharmacological Approaches:
There is a waning interest in studies that present pharmacological interventions in isolation without considering lifestyle changes or behavioral modifications. - Obesity Stigma and Public Perception:
Though still relevant, discussions around weight stigma and societal perceptions of obesity are appearing less frequently compared to more clinical and intervention-focused research. - Childhood Obesity Studies:
While still important, the volume of studies solely dedicated to childhood obesity is decreasing as the journal expands its focus to adult obesity and comorbidities. - Retrospective Cohort Studies:
The journal is favoring prospective studies and randomized controlled trials over retrospective cohort studies, possibly due to the latter's limitations in establishing causality.
