Table 2.

Body mass index, weight change, and 5 and 10% weight change from baseline to 6-month follow-up in patients with obesity exposed and not exposed (controls) to COVID-19 lockdown. Data from completer and intention-to-treat analysis. For repeated measure ANOVA: Mauchly’s sphericity tests were >0.05. Sphericity was assumed.
