Health Benefits of 5 Percent Weight Loss (IMAGE)
Caption
Magkos et al. demonstrate the profound therapeutic effects of weight loss on metabolic function in subjects with obesity. This visual abstract shows how even a moderate 5% weight loss has considerable health benefits, including decreased intra-abdominal and intra-hepatic fat and increased multiorgan insulin sensitivity and b cell function. Additional weight loss further improves many cardiometabolic outcomes.
