Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Lifestyle interventions effectively promote weight loss of 5% to 10%; pharmacological and surgical interventions even more
- Some novel approved drugs induce up to an average of 25% weight loss
- Long-term weight-loss maintenance remains extremely challenging; subsequent weight gain is typical
- Mechanisms underlying weight regain remain to be fully elucidated
