Body image among bullied obese children: an Egyptian case-control study
This study highlights the obesity and its association with obesity-related health risks and emotional distress. School refusal was strongly linked to bullying and academic pressure. Negative school interactions affected family relationships, while family denial increased bullying and emotional distress. Females showed greater vulnerability to sadness than males.
