The widespread but unproven assumption that body weight is entirely controllable by lifestyle choices and that self-directed efforts can reverse even severe obesity or type 2 diabetes could explain low public support for coverage of anti-obesity interventions beyond diet and exercise.
“The widespread, but unproven, assumption that body weight is entirely controllable by lifestyle choices and that self-directed efforts can reverse even severe forms of obesity or type 2 diabetes44 could explain the low level of public support for coverage of anti-obesity interventions beyond diet and exercise45, regardless of their evidence base.”

From Joint international consensus statement for ending stigma of obesity (2020) · cites this paper as [45]
Results, Table 1 reports that 19.2% supported insurance coverage always, while another 72.8% supported it when the procedure provides health benefits. Only 8.0% opposed coverage, so the claim that only 19.2% supported coverage omits the much larger group supporting conditional coverage. (LLM, conf=0.90)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
