Abstract

Introduction: Obesity is associated with serious chronic health risks. Lifestyle interventions can induce weight loss. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of a weight loss program administered in primary care among a population with obesity. Methods: A high-intensity lifestyle intervention was conducted in primary care clinics in a population with obesity. Results: GSA decreased from baseline to 12 months (-4.5 mg/dL [(ES): 2.1; P = 0.04]) but not at 24 months (-0.8 mg/dL [ES: 2.1; P = 0.70]) in the IIE group. Conclusions: A high-intensity program for obesity produced significant improvements in a population over 24 months
