  • Outcome variable: weight loss between 2010 and 2011 in obese patients (yes/no).

  • Number of observations=42 428 (patients with obesity in 2010 for whom data on weight were available in 2011).

  • Maximum likelihood test p<0.001.

  • Hypertension=hypertension with and without complications.

  • Diabetes=diabetes types I and II with and without complications.
