indicates no significant difference between randomized groups (data not presented)

Note: Groups with the same superscript at the same assessment point are significantly different at α<0.008 (p-value of 0.05 adjusted using Bonferroni adjustment for 6 group comparisons at that time point.)

Groups

NON-LOSS: <10% weight loss at both 6 and 18 months

NON-MAINTAIN: ≥10% weight loss at 6 months and <10% weight loss at 18 months

LATE-LOSS: 6 month weight loss <10% & 18 month weight loss ≥10%

MAINTAIN: ≥10% weight loss at both 6 and 18 months
