National Weight Control Registry - Purpose - 2007/05/11 23:38
The purpose of this national database is to identify a large group of people who have been successful at long-term maintenance of substantial weight loss. The National Weight Control Registry uses quantitative measures to describe weight-loss and weight-maintenance strategies. This is NOT a treatment plan. To date, there are over 2,000 people, from all over the United States, enrolled in the NWCR.
