Metabolic adaptation

>10% weight loss is strongly associated with major macrovascular events (HR, 1.75; 95% CI, 1.26-2.44) in patients with type 2 diabetes.

>10% weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes should prompt further cardiovascular risk assessment.

StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Over the following 3 years of the trial, >10% weight loss was strongly associated with major macrovascular events (hazard ratio [HR], 1.75; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.26-2.44),
