  1. * Comparison of changes between the high and low attendance group (unpaired t-test). The subjects in the high attendance group attended more group sessions than the mean which was 9.34 sessions and the subjects in the low attendance group attended = 9.34 sessions.
  2. † Mean ± SD ‡ Changes are calculated as the difference between 1 year and the start of orlistat. § Mean; 95% CI in brackets.
