A workshop was convened in 1997 by the
National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention to consider the need for and feasibility of conducting
a randomized clinical trial to estimate the long-term
health effects of intentional weight loss in obese persons.
Although the benefits of weight loss in obese individuals may
seem obvious, little information is available showing that intentional
weight loss improves long-term health outcomes. Observational
studies may be unable to provide convincing answers
about the magnitude and direction of the health effects of intentional
weight loss. Workshop participants agreed that a welldesigned
randomized clinical trial could answer several questions
necessary for developing a rational clinical and public
health policy for treating obesity. Such information will ultimately
provide needed guidance on the risks and benefits of
weight loss to health care providers and payers, as well as to millions
of obese Americans.
