In the November 18, 2025 issue of JACC, Editor-in-Chief Harlan M. Krumholz, MD, SM, FACC, uses his editor's page to reflect on the evolving role of editors as partners with authors in strengthening cardiovascular science. The issue itself centers on adiposity, featuring multiple pooled analyses showing that waist-to-height ratio and waist circumference outperform BMI in predicting heart failure and mortality risk. Other highlights include a meta-analysis confirming GLP-1 receptor agonists' broad cardiovascular benefits, new insights into obesity's impact on biomarkers and disease interpretation, and several pieces, including state of the art reviews and viewpoints, on obesity-related conditions. Our issue focus on adiposity as a central driver of cardiometabolic disease shows the need for tailored, collaborative approaches to patient care and research.
