"...Despite a substantial percentage of participants who

satisfactory adherence rates and the progressively decreasing mean
adherence scores were practically identical among the 4 diets. The
higher discontinuation rates for the Atkins and Ornish diet groups
suggest many individuals found these diets to be too extreme.

Good point. So, what is the difference between a mean adherence score for
each diet and a discontinuation rate for each diet?
