In the ILS group, men lost more absolute weight (6.0 vs. 4.6 kg, P < 0.01), a greater percentage of body weight (8 vs. 7%, P = 0.02), and more absolute and percentage of waist circumference (5.6 cm [5.2%] vs. 4.6 cm [4.4%], P < 0.05 for all comparisons) than women.
It is clear that especially older men lose more in terms of employment probabilities than older women.
After adjusting for the effects of weight change, sex became an important predictor of VAT and TAT with men losing more relative to women over the course of the intervention.
