OBESITY, DISEASES
Despite obesity being socially patterned, with the exception of age, we did not find evidence of inequalities in weight change following weight loss intervention. Younger participants of behavioural weight management interventions may need additional support when maintaining weight loss following intervention. However, overall, our findings support the continued use of behavioural weight management interventions as part of a system-wide approach to reducing obesity and related diseases without widening existing health inequalities. Such an approach would also include population-level interventions that could support all people with obesity in maintaining weight after treatment.
