IWL – initial body weight loss, %IWL – percentage of initial body weight loss, IBMIL – initial body mass index loss, %IBMIL – percentage of initial body mass index loss, IFML – initial fat mass loss, %IFML – percentage of initial fat mass loss, IFMIL – initial fat mass index loss, %IFMIL – percentage of initial fat mass index loss, %IEWL – percentage of initial excess weight loss, %IEBMIL – percentage of initial excess body mass index loss, IFML/IWL – initial fat mass loss and initial body weight loss ratio (shows proportion of fat mass loss in body weight loss). Data are given as mean ± SD (range)
