When examining studies of 8 weeks minimum they needed .5kgs of weight loss per week for the amount lost to be considered clinically relevant.. This sounds like an explanation of the mathematics of the rule system experts have agreed on to define clinically relevant amount of weight loss.

I would presume a metastudy of studies that averages twice as long would show half the amount of exercise needed per week for clinical relevance.
