The progression rate of carotid bulb IMT in the weight loss group was       similar to that observed in the lean control group (0.024 vs 0.025 mm/y, n.s.),       whereas the IMT progression rate was almost three times higher in the obese       control group (0.068 mm/y, P<0.05 compared with lean controls).
