Abstract:

Concepts: WL%: Percentage of weight loss; % FL: Percentage of fat loss; PNLWF: Participants who do not lose weight and fat simultaneously; PLWF: Participants who lose weight and fat. Objective: Assess whether the loss of %FL and %WL in dietary treatment, was affected by gender, age, BMI and assistance to the query. Method: 4,700 consultations were conducted with 670 patients; older than 18 years are overweight or obese, in the South-East of Spain, during the years 2006-12. Consultations were held every 15 days; the tool used was a personalized diet and calorie food in the area. Two types of patients were PNLWF and PLWF (91.9%). Results: PLWF, this group consists mostly of women; participants between 25-45 years; attending more than one and a half; overweight subjects. In PLWF, men and those attending a greater number of occasions to the consultation have shown a greater loss compared to women (% FL: 23.0 vs.14.3%, p=0.000; % WL: 7, 7 vs. 6.6%, p =0.020), and those who attend less frequently (% FL: 19.1 vs. 7.3%, p=0.000; %WL: 7.8 vs. 2.9%, p=0.000). Multinomial regression analysis (PNLWF / PLWF) indicates that only attend more than one and a half to the consultation is a factor in the loss, or 8.3 (95% CI 4.5 to 15.1; p=0.000). Conclusion: The body fat measurement provides additional information to the lost weight; gender and often in attendance, influences the loss (PLWF); it can be confirmed as a predictor, monitoring of treatment over six weeks.
