Predictors of weight loss targets in the overall population, as well as in males and females

	Males OR (95% CI)	Females OR (95% CI)	Overall OR (95% CI)
Diabetes duration	1.069 (1.011–1.167)a	1.022 (0.975–1.071)	1.044 (1.005–1.085)a
Baseline BMI	1.069 (0.988–1.157)	0.986 (0.934–1.041)	1.020 (0.977–1.065)
Baseline HbA1c	0.970 (0.673–1.398)	0.667 (0.458–0.971)a	0.809 (0.627–1.044)
Therapy*	0.735 (0.281–1.921)	0.656 (0.321–1.341)	0.758 (0.437–1.314)

Notes: Results are expressed as the 1-year percent loss value from the baseline weight ≥ 75th percentile (≥8.5%). In addition, the results are also expressed as OR (95% CI) after a logistics regression model where the dependent variable was target outcome “y” (yes = 1; no = 0); age, duration of diabetes, baseline HbA_1c, background antidiabetic therapy, and baseline BMI were the independent variables.

^*Therapy was categorized as metformin = 0; sulphonylureas or associations = 1.

^astatistically significant.

Abbreviations: OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; BMI, body mass index; HbA_1c, hemoglobin A_1c.
