Binge eating Disorder et stigmatisation dans l'obésité

Stigmatizing did not appear to be more frequent in obese women with BED than without. It was also observed that obese women with BED perceived a stronger overall impact from stigmatizing than those without BED. Obese women manifesting BED were far more likely to be confronted with the following stigmatizing situations: negative comments by others, negative perception by close family members, negative comments from close family members, and limited clothing choice. Impact for the following situations of stigmatization was greater: negative perceptions by other adults, negative perceptions by close family members, a feeling of shame or discomfort coming from loved ones, discrimination in daily life, discrimination in the workplace, and negative attitudes of store employees.
