[Initial evaluation of a follow-up program for obese patients].
The initial results of an Obesity Programme being developed in our Health Centre is presented. It includes the evaluation of 90 individuals who form part of the programme, 79 (88%) of which are women and 11 (12%) are men, over a period of 7 months. 33% of the individuals (18) lost more than 50% of their excess weight, 8 of whom reached an ideal weight (15% of the total). 36% (20 individuals) lost between 25% and 50% of their excess weight and 31% (17 individuals) lost less than 25% of their excess weight. The conclusion bears reference to the difficulty the obese person has in losing weight, and especially in keeping his/her weight down.
