We speculated that random allocation to an unwanted meal pattern may have contributed to dropping out. Results indicate that there were no significant differences (p > 0.05) for a dropout’s baseline meal pattern between each of the three meal patterns, and for each gender. Interviews and qualitative data provided only 1 case where the meal pattern allocation had been the deciding factor to drop out. The remainder cited work, time constraints and family commitments as the primary reason. We conclude that a profile to reliably predict those who will quit a weight loss study could not be developed, and that we need to develop tools to evaluate lifestyle predictors more effectively.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:28:57 AEDT ]]> Special issue on health and fatherhood https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32314 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:52:02 AEST ]]>
