Benefits of weight loss quiz
- How much weight (%) do your patients need to lose on average, to improve obesity/weight-related health issues?
5-10%
10-15%
15-20%
CORRECT!
The correct answer is A.
A weight reduction as low as 5-10% may improve a patient’s overall quality of health. Many obesity-related conditions have been seen to improve with a 5-10% weight loss.1-4

- How many obesity-related conditions have been seen to improve with a 5-10% weight loss. (select all that apply)
Cholesterol
Hypertension
Diabetes
Sleep apnea
Inflammation
CORRECT!
The correct answer is all of the above.
A 5-10% weight loss can result in a 5-point increase in HDL cholesterol. It was also shown to decrease triglycerides by an average of 2.2 mmol/L. Both systolic and diastolic BP decrease by 5 mmHg on average.1
5-10% weight loss can decrease the Hemoglobin A1C marker by half a point on average. Modest weight loss was found to significantly decrease insulin levels and thus to help with reversing these conditions.1 It may also improve sleep apnea by >20%.2
A 10% loss in weight can cause the levels of inflammatory substances circulating in the blood drop significantly and therefore the risk of vascular damage is reduced as well. It has been shown that there is a significant relationship between weight loss and reduction in compressive knee-joint loads.1-4
