A group of them (n=15) underwent vertical banded gastroplasty and\u00a0they were assigned to the lifestyle plus surgery group (LS-surgery). The rest of them (n=17) were assigned to the lifestyle plus low-energy-diet group (LS-diet).<\/p>\n Results:<\/strong> The LS-surgery group lost significantly more weight after 12 months than the LS-diet group (46.4\u00b13.0 kg vs. 18.5\u00b13.0 kg, P<0.001) and this difference remained significant till the 36-month followup assessment.\n\nConclusions:<\/strong> Even though the combination of intensive lifestyle intervention along with low-energy-diet resulted in weight loss and maintenance, this effect was less pronounced than the one achieved through the combination of lifestyle modification and surgery.<\/p>\n [\/summary]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Aim of the present study was to evaluate the long-term effects of two obesity treatment modalities: lifestyle intervention coupled with surgery and lifestyle intervention coupled with low-energy diet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":402,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[59],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hjnutrdiet.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hjnutrdiet.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hjnutrdiet.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hjnutrdiet.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/402"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hjnutrdiet.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hjnutrdiet.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hjnutrdiet.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hjnutrdiet.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hjnutrdiet.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
