Fig. 4

Bar plots illustrating the potential impact fraction (PIF) of the four weight reduction scenarios (1. distribution shift where, for each person with overweight, a counterfactual weight was drawn from the distribution of persons with a “normal” BMI, 2. One-unit reduction of the BMI of individuals with overweight, 3. modification of the BMI of individuals with overweight based on a weight loss of 10%, 4. reduction of the WC to the half of the height among all people with a WC/height ratio greater than 0.5) on A. diabetes, B. hypertension, C. cardiovascular disease, and D. musculoskeletal disease in Belgium. Error bars represent the 95% confidence intervals
