Body Weight of PROPEL Patients over Two Years by Food Security Status and Usual Care and Intensive Lifestyle Intervention Groups. UC: Usual Care; ILI: Intensive Lifestyle Intervention. Data are mean body weight (kg) and 95% confidence intervals and are derived from an unadjusted repeated-measures linear mixed-effects multilevel model with random cluster (clinic) effects and a 3-way interaction term between intervention group*assessment time*food security status. Number of patients contributing data to the analysis at each time point: 0 Months=749 (Food Secure - UC: 226; Food Secure - ILI: 291; Food Insecure - UC: 115; Food Insecure - ILI: 117). 6 Months=726 (Food Secure - UC: 226; Food Secure - ILI: 277; Food Insecure - UC: 114; Food Insecure - ILI: 109). 12 Months=691 (Food Secure - UC: 215; Food Secure - ILI: 261; Food Insecure - UC: 111; Food Insecure - ILI: 104). 18 Months=673 (Food Secure - UC: 212; Food Secure - ILI: 254; Food Insecure - UC: 104; Food Insecure - ILI: 103). 24 Months=670 (Food Secure - UC: 207; Food Secure - ILI: 258; Food Insecure - UC: 101; Food Insecure - ILI: 104).
