Table 3

Physical activity levels at baseline ( MHO participants) vs. after 2 years ( MHO participants) of lifestyle modification, according to percentage of weight loss.


	Weight loss group	Baseline	2 years

Sedentarism or light level ( (%))	<5%	23 (50.0)	5 (22.7)	0.01
	≥5-<10%	15 (55.6)	3 (23.1)	0.002
	≥10%	17 (56.7)	1 (4.8)	<0.001
	All	55 (53.5)	9 (16.0)	0.001

Moderate level ( (%))	<5%	16 (34.8)	12 (54.5)	0.006
	≥5-<10%	8 (29.6)	5 (38.5)	0.068
	≥10%	6 (20.0)	7 (33.3)	0.010
	All	30 (30.4)	24 (42.9)	0.002

Vigorous level ( (%))	<5%	7 (15.2)	5 (22.7)	0.01
	≥5-<10%	4 (14.8)	5 (38.5)	0.006
	≥10%	7 (23.3)	13 (61.9)	<0.001
	All	18 (16.1)	23 (41.1)	0.003

Group 1: weight loss <5% (baseline, ; 2^nd year, ); Group 2: weight loss ≥5-<10% (baseline, ; 2^nd year, ); Group 3: weight loss ≥10% (baseline, ; 2^nd year, ). Physical activity levels according to the Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity (RAPA) questionnaire are as follows: sedentarism or light level points, moderate level points, and vigorous level points.
