  Figure 2. Changes in left ventricular mass (%) and left ventricular wall thickness (mm) by body weight change categories (A and B) and changes in left ventricular concentricity (mass/volume ratio, %) by waist circumference change categories (C).

  Figure 3. Multivariable‐adjusted changes in concentricity by percentage weight change. Continuous, adjusted splines show that any weight loss was associated with a decrease in concentricity and that any weight gain up to ≈20% was associated with increased concentricity. Since there were very few data points beyond a 20% weight change, it is unclear if further increases in weight would impact additional concentricity change. Model adjusted for all covariates included in model 2 in Table 2.
