Energy balance
The for-profit worksite had almost twice the weight loss of the non-profit worksite over 6 months (−11.2±7.7 kg vs. −6.2±5.4 kg; P=0.0002).
For-profit worksites may be more effective for weight loss interventions compared to non-profit worksites.

There was a significant difference between the two intervention sites in weight change over 6 month, with the for-profit worksite having almost twice the weight loss of the non-profit worksite (−11.2±7.7 kg, −6.2±5.4; P=0.0002).
