PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Weekly/Monthly, up to 1 year

Population: All subjects who enrolled in this research program. Subjects were assessed weekly, when able. Since some were not able to do every weekly assessment, N varies weekly, and the weekly assessments below are the means of the number of subjects out of the total in the group who were assessed at that point.

Average weight of subjects attending each of the first 8 weekly visits and the 10 monthly visits which followed, per study group.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

General Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) is a full information maximum likelihood approach that permits inclusion of all available data and provides unbiased parameter estimates even if there are missing data under the condition that data are missing at random. The GLMM approach assumes that every patient is on a specific trajectory over time and that both the slope and the shape of this trajectory are a potential function of group membership or other person-level covariates. Using a likelihood ratio test, we compared different options to model these trajectories and found a linear model, which assumes that the same rate of change is maintained over the whole study, provided a good fit to the data. We used a linear model of the average rate of change over time (slope) for all comparisons. To illustrate the magnitude of difference between slopes for major outcomes, we report the estimated difference at 12 months between two hypothetical participants with identical baseline characteristics.

Computed as % body fat at 12 month - % body fat at baseline. General Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) is a full information maximum likelihood approach that permits inclusion of all available data and provides unbiased parameter estimates even if there are missing data under the condition that data are missing at random. The GLMM approach assumes that every patient is on a specific trajectory over time and that both the slope and the shape of this trajectory are a potential function of group membership or other person-level covariates. Using a likelihood ratio test, we found a linear model, assuming the same rate of change throughout the study, provided a good fit to the data compared to other models. We used a linear model of the average rate of change over time (slope) for all comparisons. To illustrate the magnitude of difference between slopes for major outcomes, we report the estimated difference at 12 months between two hypothetical participants with identical baseline characteristics.
