Should weight loss and maintenance programs be designed differently for men?
In the recently published systematic review from the journal Obesity Research & Clinical practice, Clare Robertson and colleagues sought to answer this very question. They included 22 randomized controlled trials of obese men and women where outcome data was presented separately by sex in each trial and had a duration and/or follow-up of at least one year. The majority of trials considered interventions for weight loss, rather than weight loss maintenance, but none were designed to directly address the research question: do men and women respond differently to weight loss interventions?
