Agenda

  • 40 minutes presentation and then 20 minutes Q&A with the host Nathan Nagel
  • Redefining obesity and cardiometabolic risk assessment beyond body mass index (BMI)
  • Adipose tissue dysfunction, lipotoxicity, and ectopic fat as central drivers of cardiometabolic disease
  • The role of ectopic fat deposition in MASLD/MASH, HFpEF, vascular disease, and beta-cell dysfunction
  • Fibro-inflammation, extracellular matrix remodelling, and adipokine signalling in metabolic disease progression
  • Clinical relevance of the “metabolically healthy obese” and “metabolically unhealthy lean” phenotypes
  • Ethnic and regional cardiometabolic risk patterns, including the Asian diabetes phenotype
  • Metabolic flexibility as a unifying concept in obesity and disease progression
  • Translating mechanistic insights into patient classification, risk stratification, and precision medicine approaches
  • Therapeutic implications of GLP-1 receptor agonists, tirzepatide, and emerging MASH therapies
  • Future biomarkers and treatment targets derived from adipose tissue biology
