The National Weight Control Registry (NWCR) is a collaborative venture between three U.S. universities. The NWCR represents a longitudinal prospective study of individuals aged 18 years and over, who have successfully maintained a 30 pound (approximately 18 kg) weight loss for at least 1 year.
Individuals who enrol in the registry are periodically asked to complete questionnaires about their weight history and status, weight loss success, current weight maintenance strategies, and other health-related behaviours. Recruitment for the registry is ongoing.
