Proportions and 95% confidence intervals were estimated using a Poisson mixed model with robust error variance with a person-level random intercept controlling for variables associated with missing follow-up weight (i.e., sex, smoking status, coronary artery disease, hypertension, coronary heart failure, chronic kidney disease, having at least one hospitalization, and HbA1c value)
