Attendance and weight loss by dyad status in the NDPP

Participants (N = 2,946)
Enrolled in dyad (n = 90) Enrolled alone (n = 2,856) P value
Any attendance 66 (73.3) 1,272 (44.5) <0.001
Percentage of sessions attended* 43.0 ± 3.8 36.3 ± 0.9 0.074
Days of attendance* 145.0 ± 15.1 110.0 ± 3.6 0.025
Program completion* 22 (33.3) 250 (19.7) 0.022
Percent weight loss* −1.4 ± 0.5 −1.8 ± 0.1 0.495
Achieved ≥5% weight loss* 13 (19.7) 191 (15.3) 0.462
 Men 6 (31.6) 43 (16.0) 0.031
 Women 7 (14.9) 148 (15.5) 0.200

Data are presented as mean ± SE based on modified population marginal means for continuous variables and frequency (percent) for categorical variables. Boldface type indicates statistical significance in adjusted models (P < 0.05). Models include sex, age, race/ethnicity, and attendance to presessions prior to enrollment. Weight loss models are further adjusted for attendance.

*

Data are presented for participants attending ≥1 session.

Program completion is defined as attending ≥3 sessions in months 1–6 and duration ≥9 months.

Achieving ≥5% weight loss was significantly modified by sex (P = 0.016).
