Does being judged for your weight make you eat worse and sleep less?
NCT ID NCT05402137
Summary
This study aimed to understand if experiencing weight stigma (negative attitudes about obesity) causes people to have less healthy daily habits. Researchers from UCLA randomly assigned 330 adults with a higher body weight to either experience a weight stigma situation or a neutral control situation. They then carefully tracked the participants' real-life eating, physical activity, and sleep for several days to see if the stigma changed their behavior.
