That, and I’ve never heard of that endpoint. It’s certainly not a clinically utilized one for testing the efficacy of therapies or diagnosing disease. However, a 10-pt reduction in bp is nothing to scoff at mortality-wise.

All this study tells me that under highly structured environments where a 500 calorie deficit is assured, patients lose weight. As you said, no surprise there. If it was that easy, we wouldn’t have a problem.

8 weeks isn’t very long either.
