Relative changes (means and 95% CIs) in protein intake (E%) based on mixed model among surgically treated individuals, grouped according to baseline sex, age, education, smoking and physical activity, and treatment type. The model was adjusted for sex and baseline age (except when examined as the main predictor) and baseline protein intake. P-values for interactions between the subgroups and changes in protein intake over time were derived from ANOVA tables (F-statistics). E% denotes percentage of total energy intake; GB, gastric bypass; VBG, vertical banded gastroplasty.
