0.47 0.0828 a Control group lost an average of 1.9 kg (2.9%) of body weight while the treatment group lost 5.9 kg (6.2%) at 3-month visit. Figure 1 Linear correlation of (a) body weight and standing arch height at baseline [StdArchHt = 4.036 + 0.020 * Weight, p<0.0001], (b) body weight and arch drop at baseline [Arch drop= 0.075 + 0.003 * weight, P=0.006], and (c) change in weight and change in standing arch height [ ΔStdArchHt = -.0114 + 0.016 * Δ Weight, P=0.013]
