Exploring the Role of Internalized Weight Bias as a Metric of Cumulative Social Disadvantage Among People With Obesity or Overweight: Insights From the OBSERVE Study

Findings highlight the need for a comprehensive and patient-centric approach to managing individuals with greater IWB, which may contribute to a higher cumulative social disadvantage and, consequently, worse health outcomes.
