Weight loss of this magnitude is consistent with next generation anti-obesity medications recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration. |

This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 April 2013.
All research outputs
#13,510,424
of 23,310,485 outputs
Outputs from Health Economics Review
#168
of 442 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#105,342
of 198,910 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Health Economics Review
#5
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,310,485 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 442 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 198,910 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
