Weight discrimination persistent for women, adults with extreme obesity


"Prevalence estimates of perceived discrimination varied across studies. Researchers found a pooled prevalence of perceived weight discrimination of 19.2% among adults with class I obesity (BMI 30-35 kg/m²; 95% CI, 11.7-29.8); 41.8% of adults with a BMI of at least 35 kg/m² experienced discrimination (95% CI, 36.9-46.9)."
