Biography

In people with obesity and overweight, significant weight loss reduces adiposity, which is clinically beneficial for complications of obesity such as osteoarthritis, diabetes, insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease.

However, marked weight loss is also associated with loss of lean mass including muscle, and sometimes bone mass.

This talk will review effects of different diets for weight loss on body composition.
