Data for the minimal core set should include: the number of attempts, whether the patient has undertaken individual/group behavioral interventions (pertaining to nutrition/PA/psychology), whether treatment included obesity drugs or bariatric surgery, and the maximal weight loss and weight regain as a result of these attempts. A measure of muscle strength, as an important component of muscular fitness, is therefore also recommended for the minimal core set, since the evidence in aggregate shows that muscle strength is associated with reduced mortality in all BMI categories and that resistance training (designed to increase muscle strength), even without weight loss, improves health risk [53] .	./cache/cord-012493-pwbzffo9.txt	./txt/cord-012493-pwbzffo9.txt
