Relevance – Excess body weight is a major concern for people with LLA, but little is known about relationship between LLA and subsequent changes in weight.

Estimated and compared longitudinal % weight change from baseline up to 39 mo of follow-up.

Lower-limb amputation and body weight changes in men.

Generally, % weight gain peaked at 2 yr, followed by some weight loss in 3 rd year.

Future studies are needed to: – Understand reasons for weight gain. – Identify intervention strategies to prevent excess weight gain and its deleterious consequences.
