Brief summary

The long term effects of organized lifestyle intervention on weight loss, physical fitness and quality of life in morbidly obese patients have not been extensively studied. The objective of this study is to investigate whether an intensive lifestyle intervention program in a tertiary care clinic (Spesialsykehuset for Rehabilitating) is superior to lifestyle intervention in a primary care setting with respect to long term (4-years) changes in weight loss, physical fitness and quality of life
