In Study 1, it was not possible to assess the weight and/or height of 57 people either because the individual was non-ambulatory or would not tolerate using the scales or having height measured. Over half of the 20-year olds and about two-thirds of individuals in their 30s, 40s, and 50s were classified as either overweight or obese. Sixty participants (15.6%) appeared to have high blood pressure, and a significant relationship existed between obesity and hypertension. Seventy people who were obese and/or hypertensive responded to the 3-month follow-up questionnaire, of whom 29 reported that no action had been taken. For the remaining 41 people, a variety of actions were noted, but weight loss was specifically mentioned in only three instances. No information was available as to whether any of the other actions (which included reduced food intake, increased exercise, health promotion classes, etc.) effected a weight loss.

In Study 2, one person dropped out (no information as to the reason). Of the 20 participants who needed to reduce their weight, initial mean weight of 85 kg was reduced significantly by the end of 6 weeks to a mean weight of 81.6 kg. Mean BMI score dropped from 33.5 to 31.9, with two people who had been overweight prior to Study 2 now classified as normal. No information was available as to maintenance of the weight loss after project termination.
