German
Authors' objectives:
The health technology assessment (HTA) report examines which diets are effective for a sustainable weight maintenance. Further questions are the economic and ethical-social implications.
Authors' recommendations:
Taking into account the identified effective factors a successful weight maintenance can be achieved with the use of diets. Due to the numerous intervening external factors of an obesogenic living condition weight maintenance after weight loss is difficult, especially for obese persons with socially disadvantaged background. Here is a public health need for action. There is a lack of knowledge regarding direct and indirect costs which can be saved from obesity therapies.
