Lifestyle interventions (diet, exercise, or both), pharmacotherapy, and bariatric surgery were associated with reduced triglyceride (TG) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) at 6 and 12 months. The following data are for changes in lipid parameters after 12 months of the intervention with 95% CI. Following lifestyle interventions, per 1 kg of weight lost, TGs were reduced by \u20134.0 mg\/dL (95% CI, \u20135.24 to \u20132.77 mg\/dL), LDL-C was reduced by \u20131.28 mg\/dL (95% CI, \u20132.19 to \u20130.37 mg\/dL), and HDL-C increased by 0.46 mg\/dL (95% CI, 0.20 to 0.71 mg\/dL). Following pharmacologic interventions, per 1 kg of weight lost, TGs were reduced by \u20131.25 mg\/dL (95% CI, \u20132.94 to 0.43 mg\/dL), LDL-C was reduced by \u20131.67 mg\/dL (95% CI, \u20132.28 to \u20131.06 mg\/dL), and HDL-C increased by 0.37 mg\/dL (95% CI, 0.23 to 0.52 mg\/dL). Following bariatric surgery, per 1 kg of weight lost, TGs were reduced by \u20132.47 mg\/dL (95% CI, \u20133.14 to \u20131.80 mg\/dL), LDL-C was reduced by \u20130.33 mg\/dL (95% CI, \u20130.77 to 0.10 mg\/dL), and HDL-C increased by 0.42 mg\/dL (95% CI, 0.37 to 0.47 mg\/dL). Low-carbohydrate diets resulted in reductions in TGs and increases in HDL-C, whereas low-fat diets resulted in reductions in TGs and LDL-C and increases in HDL-C.
