Demographics and clinical characteristics of the study population (N = 924).
Figure 1.
Initial body mass index (BMI) distribution of 924 non-cirrhotic NAFLD patients.
Baseline BMI was stratified using the following definitions: underweight (<18.5 kg/m2), normal weight (18.5–24.99 kg/m2), overweight (25.0–29.99 kg/m2), class I obesity (30.0–34.99 kg/m2), class II obesity (35.0–39.99 kg/m2), and class III obesity (≥40 kg/m2).
Figure 2.
Percent change in body weight at the end of the study period relative to the initial weight.
Patients with final body weight within 5% of their initial weight were included in the “No change” group. N = 924 for the entire cohort.

Figure 3.
Predicted probability of weight loss (>5% of initial weight) based on number of clinic visits and BMI.
Patients were stratified based on their initial BMI (used as a continuous variable) and number of clinic visits. N = 924 total patients; 2 visits: 354; 3 visits: 202; 4 visits: 130; and 5 or more visits: 238. P<0.001 for 2 visits versus 3, P<0.05 for 2 visits versus 4, and P = NS for 2 versus 5 or more visits. P = NS for 3 versus 4, or 5 or more visits.
