Outcomes
weight loss
SECONDARY
The primary outcome was body weight change; this was measured twice to the nearest 0.1 kg at each time point using a digital scale (Beurer GS210 glass scale; Beurer), with participants wearing only light clothing, and averaged. Changes in BMI were computed as well. Additionally, we report on the percentage of participants who achieved 5% and 10% weight loss from baseline.Secondary clinical outcomes were systolic and diastolic blood pressures, lipid profiles (total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride levels), and fasting glucose levels. We could not analyze waist circumference changes because the measurement protocol was not used consistently. Patient-reported secondary outcomes included physical health; mental health; healthy physical activity pattern; healthy nutrition pattern; satisfaction with weight, nutrition, physical activity, and sleep in the previous 2 weeks (all on a linear numeric scale from 0 to 10); mean hours of night sleep (previous 2 weeks); quality of life (12-Item Short Form Survey [SF-12])
