Effects on body weight eating behavior and quality of life of a low‐energy diet combined with behavioral group treatment of persons with class II or III obesity: A 2‐year pilot study

摘要

Obesity is associated with reduced health‐related quality of life (HRQoL). Outcomes of nonsurgical weight loss treatment on HRQoL are inconsistent and it is unclear how much weight reduction, or what type of treatment, is required for significant improvements. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a lifestyle intervention program on weight, eating behaviors, and HRQoL, and to describe participants' experiences of treatment.
