The Claim
Among hypertensive overweight adults who completed a weight loss program, 55% of those in an intensive lifestyle intervention group maintained weight at or below baseline levels one year later, compared to 48% in a monitoring group, with no statistically significant difference between groups.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
After a weight loss program, more people who got intense lifestyle help kept their weight down a year later compared to those just being monitored, but the difference wasn’t big enough to be sure it wasn’t just by chance.
