Perceived weight stigma and disordered eating behaviors among postpartum women: The mediating role of weight bias internalization and postpartum depression
This may be the first study to propose a chain mediation model exploring the roles of weight bias internalization and PPD in the relationship between perceived weight stigma and disordered eating behaviors among postpartum women. The findings enhance the understanding of the psychological impacts of perinatal weight stigma and underscore the importance of addressing weight stigma in postpartum care. Comprehensive interventions should be developed to enhance postpartum health and reduce the risk of disordered eating behaviors.
