To investigate obese men's health behaviors and strategies for change.
Qualitative interviews with 36 men (BMI 30 and over).
All men felt personally responsible for their weight gain. Sedentary lifestyles, stress, lack of worklife balance and weight-based stigma were all significant causes of weight gain and barriers to weight loss. These factors also contributed to men's unwillingness to seek help for their over-weight.
Addressing the self-blame and stigma associated with obesity is important in developing strategies to improve the health and well-being of obese men.
调查肥胖男性的健康行为及改变策略。
对36名男性(体重指数30及以上)进行定性访谈。
所有男性都认为自己应对体重增加负责。久坐不动的生活方式、压力、缺乏工作与生活的平衡以及基于体重的耻辱感都是体重增加的重要原因和减肥的障碍。这些因素也导致男性不愿为超重问题寻求帮助。
在制定改善肥胖男性健康和福祉的策略时,解决与肥胖相关的自责和耻辱感很重要。
