Percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding.*Calculated for all HCPs, excluding one outlier (i.e., n=323).
†Obesity class of ALwO respondents, the ALwO of caregiver respondents, and the ALwO patients of HCP respondents. Data are the percentage (number) of ALwO (for ALwO and caregivers) or the mean percentage (SD) of ALwO patients (for HCPs).
‡BMI classification of all caregiver respondents (n=700) and the subset of HCP respondents who provided height and weight data (excluding one outlier: n=215).
