This table demonstrates the average change in EQ-5D-3L across periods of observation in the trial. The study sample has been segmented by percentage change in weight to illustrate how change in EQ-5D differs for those experiencing weight loss and weight gain. The F statistics are generated from One Way Analysis of Variance
