Comparison of the mean weight of patients at various visits within the groups using paired t-test

Weight	Baseline visit Mean±SD	1st visit Mean±SD	t (P) a*b	2nd visit Mean±SD	t (P) a*c	3rd visit Mean±SD	t (P) a*d
Cases	58.62±10.52	59.0±10.80	–1.718 (0.105)	58.50±10.97	0.346 (0.734)	58.05±10.89	1.197 (0.249)
Controls	54.55±12.41	55.29±12.18	–4.564 0.001**	56.11±12.33	–6.765 (0.001**)	57.17±12.17	–9.836 (0.001**)

P<0.05 is statistically significant, and P<0.001 is statistically highly significant
