Etiology and treatment of obesity
Abstract
Practitioners, the media, and the public are re-evaluating the treatment of obesity in view of findings that most weight reduction efforts are ultimately unsuccessful and may be associated with adverse health effects. This article reviews these findings, discusses methods of identifying those persons most in need of weight reduction, and examines important developments in treatment.

People are more willing to disclose personal and sensitive information online because they worry less about what the moderator thinks of them.
“Other studies have found that participants prefer to share personal and sensitive information virtually as they are less concerned with the moderator’s opinion of them [49, 50].”

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.
