CI, confidence interval; RR, relative risk.

a

Unsuccessful weight loss defined as losing <10% baseline body weight between baseline and 6 months; successful weight loss defined as losing ≥10% baseline body weight between baseline and 6 months.

b

Adjusted for age, BMI, race/ethnicity, and intervention arm.
