Understanding the Relationship Between Weight Discrimination and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Diabetes: Findings from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA)
Findings suggest that weight discrimination has deleterious effects on a range of cardiometabolic risk factors in those living with diabetes, at least in the short-term. Interventions targeted to help individuals with diabetes cope with weight stigma are warranted to help reduce the risk of future diabetes-related complications.
