Abstract

This is a retrospective analysis of weight change among overweight and obese TennCare recipients who participated in the program Weight change was calculated as the median difference from the first date of participation to the last Weight change was also calculated as median percentage change from initial weight and categorized as weight loss or gain of 0 to 5 ≥5 to 10 and ≥10 During the study period 1605 individuals started the program and 1192 had at least one followup weight measurement and thus met the inclusion criteria for the study Women n = 1149 had a BMI of 396 kg/m2 and men n = 43 had a BMI of 430 kg/m2 The median weight loss for all participants was 19 kg or 18  of initial weight Twenty percent of participants lost 5  or more of their initial body weight while participating in the program Over 13  of participants only attended two meetings on average these participants lost 05  of initial weight Over 23  of participants attended 13 or more meetings and they lost an average of 64  of initial weightTwenty percent of TennCare recipients who joined Weight Watchers lost a clinically significant amount of weight Participants who attended more meetings lost more weight Reimbursement for Weight Watchers has been maintained by all of the Medicaid managed care organizations in Tennessee Partnerships that allow lowincome populations to access weight loss programs may provide a valuable weight management tool
