Obesity may be more associated with disordered eating behaviors, somatization, insecure attachment styles, and sexual dysfunction: an exploratory study
Our results highlight the intricate interplay between psychological, behavioral, and sexual factors in individuals affected by obesity. Further studies should focus on larger and more diverse samples and examine longitudinal trajectories of psychological and sexual health changes in response to weight-loss interventions, to assess how such interconnection may help to improve the personalization of care programs.
