Identifying the Predictors of Short Term Weight Loss Failure after Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass

Table 5

Relationship between EWL% and baseline skeletal muscle mass and excess body mass index loss after one month in study participants.

Variables	p	β	95% CI for β
			Lower	Upper
Baseline SMM	<0.001^∗	−1.418	−2.009	−0.827
EBMIL in 1^st month	0.730	−0.027	−0.180	0.127
Baseline neck circumference	0.181	0.433	−0.209	1.075

Abbreviations: SMM: skeletal muscle mass, EBMIL: excess body mass index loss, CI: confidence interval.
