The weight of stigma: pressures for a healthy weight from health professionals can predict binge eating symptoms through the mediation of internalised weight stigma
These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics at play in obesity management and highlight the potential implications of healthcare communication strategies in overweight and obesity care. The study advocates for further research into developing more empathetic and effective approaches to obesity care.
