AI synopsis

What people are saying

Several discussions highlight the low probabilities of achieving normal weight, specifically citing that only 1 in 210 men and 1 in 124 women with simple obesity attain this goal. Comments like 'the data has been saying the same thing for decades' and 'interventions focus far too much on body size' suggest a prevailing sentiment that existing methods are fundamentally flawed. The tone is often frustrated but factual, focusing on the limitations of current weight management strategies, thus contributing to a sense of urgency for change.

AgreementModerate agreement

The majority of discussions reflect a shared agreement regarding the findings of the study, particularly regarding the ineffectiveness of common obesity treatment approaches.

InterestHigh interest

Participants demonstrated a strong interest in the study and its implications, indicated by numerous requests for further information and engagement with the findings.

EngagementModerate engagement

While some discussions were detailed, referencing specific statistics from the study, others appeared more superficial, suggesting mixed levels of engagement.

ImpactHigh impact

Many users expressed that the revelations from the study could significantly influence views and strategies on obesity management, indicating a strong perception of its impact.

Abstract in brief

  • A study analyzed the likelihood of obese individuals (aged 20+) achieving normal body weight using data from the UK's Clinical Practice Research Datalink between 2004 and 2014, focusing on over 170,000 participants.
  • Results showed that over a maximum follow-up of 9 years, only 1,283 men and 2,245 women attained normal weight, highlighting low annual probabilities of achieving this: 1 in 210 for men and 1 in 124 for women with simple obesity, and even lower for those with morbid obesity.
  • The findings suggest that current community-based obesity treatment programs may not be effective in helping individuals lose weight or maintain weight loss.

Hola @RSantandreuOfic. En @tv3cat (https://t.co/NyKjV8RTFo) afirmas con fervor que "adelgazarse es la cosa más fácil del mundo, está chupado" . Además de ser mentira (https://t.co/mwPLYCZ3Lh) es una irresponsabilidad que generará frustración y culpabilidad. https://t.co/RjzkXeAtix

"At least 50% of patients who achieved 5% weight loss were shown to have regained this weight within 2 years...approximately 80% of people who intentionally achieve weight loss of 10% or more of their body weight will regain that weight within a year." https://t.co/ivvPhIlL5c

I think ppl intuitively know how hard it is to lose and maintain significant weight loss through typical diet and exercise. But it's worth quantifying just how hard it is. This 2015 study seems to be one of the few to use population-level data to do so. https://t.co/3qIKnCCJMf https://t.co/zPd6Oa4lSO

@AlexJLeaf @CheriLev @NEJM I say this as all diets (even calorie counting) have similar results, so in my view it is pretty representative. This is a good study with long term data. There’s another one (can’t locate atm) which suggests it’s less harmful to do nothing than to “diet” https://t.co/G3tZu9BIze

3. They don’t offer any alternative views. For example, what’s the risk of restrictive dieting to lose the weight? We know that this has only a 2% success (https://t.co/G3tZu9BIze) and that up to 25% of people develop eating disorders.

Older but important #obesity study: Excluding surgery, the likelihood of going from obese (BMI 30-34.9) to a BMI <25 (considered optimal for decreased mortality) is: 1/124 for women 1/210 for men. https://t.co/Du7BsYfjyr In other words, obesity is a tough to crack
