*Entries are median [interquartile range]. p value: comparison between patients without T2D and patients with T2D; #indicates p < 0.05 in the comparison between remitters and non-remitters; §indicates p < 0.05 in the comparison between remitters and patients without T2D. WL, weight loss; EWL, excess body weight loss
