A Study of Tirzepatide (LY3298176) in Participants With Obesity or Overweight for the Maintenance of Weight Loss

This was a study of tirzepatide in participants with obesity or overweight. The main purpose was to learn more about how tirzepatide maintained body weight loss. The study had two phases: a lead-in phase in which all participants took tirzepatide and a treatment phase in which participants either continued tirzepatide or switched to placebo. The study lasted about 2 years (25 visits).

The Physical-Functioning domain assesses limitations due to health "now" and consists of 10-items, each rated on a 3-point Likert scale. Scoring of the domain is norm-based and presented in the form of T-scores, with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10; higher scores indicate better levels of function. Range cannot be specified in norm-based scores.

A 5-item subset of the Physical domain - the Physical Function composite - is also supported. Items in the Physical Function composite describe physical impacts related to general and specific physical activities. All items in the physical domain are rated on either a 5-point frequency ("never" to "always") scale or a 5-point truth ("not at all true" to "completely true") scale. Total score of IWQOL-Lite-CT composite ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores reflecting better health-related quality of life.
