Assessing weight stigma in school-aged children (grades 1 to 3): a cross-sectional study from Palestine
Our findings indicate that weight stigma is prevalent among school-aged children. This study is the first to provide a tool to explore weight stigma and to offer statistical data that will support future educational interventions. This work is important to reduce weight stigma among children, protect children's psychological status, reduce obesity prevalence, and improve its management.
