The table excludes data from patients who died, patients who were lost to follow-up, and patients who later chose to undergo any type of bariatric surgical procedure.

The odds ratios are adjusted for age, sex, baseline body-mass index, income, education level, and marital status. Confidence intervals and significance levels were adjusted for multiple comparisons (see the Supplementary Appendix).

P<0.001 for the comparison with the surgery group.
