Box plots of the changes in the anthropometric and laboratory measures of obesity in the 12‐month post‐trial follow‐up (n = 53). The 12‐month post‐trial follow‐up was conducted from the 3rd to 15th months in Group A and from the 6th to 18th months in Group B. The central line, lower edge, and upper edge of each box indicate the median, 25th percentile, and 75th percentile, respectively. The whiskers extend to the most extreme data points not considered outliers, and outliers are plotted individually.
