OBJECTIVE: Severe obesity (body mass index [BMI] >= 40 kg/m(2)) is a serious public health concern. Although bariatric surgery is an efficacious treatment approach, it is limited in reach; thus, nonsurgical treatment alternatives are needed. We examined the 4-year effects of an intensive lifestyle intervention on body weight and cardiovascular disease risk factors among severely obese, compared with overweight (25 <= BMI <= 30), class I (30 <= BMI <= 35), and class II obese (35 <= BMI <= 40) participants. METHODS: There were 5145 individuals with type 2 diabetes (45-76 years, BMI >= 25 kg/m(2)) randomized to an intensive lifestyle intervention or diabetes support and education. The lifestyle intervention group received a behavioral weight loss program that included group and individual meetings, a >= 10% weight loss goal, calorie restriction, and increased physical activity. Diabetes support and education received a less intense educational intervention. Four-year changes in body weight and cardiovascular disease risk factors were assessed. RESULTS: Across BMI categories, 4-year changes in body weight were significantly greater in lifestyle participants compared with diabetes support and education (Ps < .05). At year 4, severely obese lifestyle participants lost 4.9% +/- 8.5%, which was similar to class I (4.8% +/- 7.2%) and class II obese participants (4.4% +/- 7.6%), and significantly greater than overweight participants (3.4% +/- 7.0%; P < .05). Four-year changes in low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, diastolic blood pressure, HbA 1c, and blood glucose were similar across BMI categories in lifestyle participants; however, the severely obese had less favorable improvements in high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (3.1 +/- 0.4 mg/dL) and systolic blood pressure (-1.4 +/- 0.7 mm Hg) compared with the less obese (Ps < .05). CONCLUSION: Lifestyle interventions can result in important long-term weight losses and improvements in cardiovascular disease risk factors among a significant proportion of severely obese individuals.
