“Best subset regression” model for weight gain predicting variables. To use the nomogram, locate the first variable. Draw line straight up to the points axis to determine the number of points received for the variable. This has to be repeated for all other variables and points achieved for each variable have to be summarized. The sum of these numbers is located on the total point axis and a line drawn has to be drawn down to determine the likehood of 1- and 2- probability of postcessational weight gain.
