Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percent Excess Weight Change From Baseline to 24 Months

    Percent excess weight change from baseline to 24 months was calculated as (the baseline weight minus the weight at 24 months) divided by the (baseline weight minus the ideal body weight (using the upper limit of the midpoint range in the Metropolitan Tables for Life Insurance, 1983) x 100). Last observation carried forward was used for early terminated subjects.

    Baseline to 24 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • % Excess Weight Change From Baseline to 12 Months

    Baseline to 12 months

  • Change in Body Mass Index From Baseline to 24 Months

    Baseline to 24 months
