In the study of examined the long-term effectiveness of behavioral
weight control
programs, conducted by Marshall University School of Medicine(1), researchers found that A 2-year follow-up study was designed to assess the effectiveness of a behavioral
weight control program on 123 obese male and 386 obese female subjects. Following an 8-week treatment period, mean
weight was 176.4 +/- 41.3 lb (no. = 509), yielding a mean
weight loss of 9.2 +/- 6.4 lb.
Weight change after the 8-week treatment period ranged from a
loss of 37 lb to a gain of 5 lb. The 2-year follow-up study showed that mean
weight of the 498 subjects was 179.8 +/- 42.9 lb, yielding a mean
weight loss of 5.8 +/- 15.5 lb.
Weight change ranged from a
loss of 71 lb to a gain of 47 lb. After 2 years, 325 subjects (65.3%) were still below their baseline weights, 182 subjects (36.6% of the entire study group) had maintained or enhanced the
weight loss achieved during treatment, and 80 subjects (16.1%) weighed at least 10% less than their baseline
weight.
