For each one percent reduction in body weight at eight weeks, there was a 112.6 μmoL/l increase in fasting beta-hydroxybutyrate concentrations.
Weight loss is associated with increased ketone production, which may aid in understanding dietary interventions.
GoodSupportsmedium confidence
For each one percent reduction in body weight at eight weeks, there was a 112.6 [77.4, 147.8] μmoL/l increase in fasting beta-hydroxybutyrate concentrations, (p < 0.0001).
