SUMMARY:The Intersection of Obesity and Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Aging and Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Gerontological Society of America \nDuring this webinar\, expert faculty will discuss the strong\, bidirectional link between obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) among aging and older adults. They examine how excess weight contributes to airway collapse and decreased lung volume and how untreated OSA-induced fatigue and hormonal changes may lead to further weight gain. The faculty highlight heightened risks for comorbidities such as hypertension\, cardiovascular disease\, type 2 diabetes\, and cognitive decline when both conditions are present\, and they review interprofessional treatment approaches aimed at improving health and quality of life for older and aging adults with obesity and OSA. \nLearn More

SUMMARY:Overcoming Barriers to Women’s Participation in Clinical Research
DESCRIPTION:This is an in-person event. This event took place in Rayburn House Office Building\, Room 2060.\nFor decades\, women have been underrepresented — and at times\, explicitly excluded — from clinical research. This historic imbalance has left gaps in our understanding of women’s health\, disease progression\, effective diagnostics\, and appropriate treatment strategies. While meaningful progress has been made in recent years\, persistent regulatory and socioeconomic barriers continue to limit the full inclusion of women in clinical trials across the lifespan. \nIn recognition of Women’s Health Research Day on January 25\, the Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) hosted a congressional briefing focused on the barriers women face in participating in clinical trials. This forum provided an opportunity for speakers to share their experiences and expertise\, discuss ongoing challenges\, and propose solutions and next steps to foster increased participation of women in research. Together\, we celebrate the strides achieved so far\, address systemic challenges\, and explore actionable strategies to ensure that medical innovation truly serves everyone.\nThis event is took place in Rayburn House Office Building\, Room 2060. \n*This event is widely attended and relevant to official duties \nThis is an SWHR Event.

SUMMARY:NP Webinar: The Obesity Society's Best Practices in Obesity Management
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by The Obesity Society \nJoin expert faculty as they unravel the complex physiology of energy balance\, explore how dysregulation leads to obesity\, and highlight the powerful impact of excess adipose tissue on health and chronic disease. Gain valuable insights into why long-term weight loss is so challenging due to biologic adaptation\, and discover the latest on the safety\, efficacy\, and dosing of obesity medications. From practical strategies for lifestyle counseling in primary care to proven ways to combat obesity bias and stigma in healthcare\, this session is packed with actionable knowledge to elevate your clinical impact and enhance patient care. Don’t miss this chance to lead the charge in transforming obesity management. \nLearn More
