Predictors of Long-Term Adherence to Multiple Health Behavior Recommendations for Weight Management.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We have demonstrated previously that patterns of behavioral adherence in the first 6 months of behavioral lifestyle interventions were associated with significant weight loss at 18 months.
