This review explores potential sources of weight bias and stigma during the COVID-19 pandemic, including "quarantine-15" messages and discussion of obesity in media and public health campaigns. We examine evidence of the effects of weight bias on well-being during the pandemic and highlight unanswered questions to be addressed in future research.
Studies that have investigated weight change during stay-at-home orders have yielded mixed findings and relied predominantly on self-reported retrospective recall, thus providing weak evidence of a widespread "quarantine-15" effect. No studies to date have evaluated the effects on weight stigma and health of obesity-focused COVID-19 media and public health messages. Individuals with a history of experiencing weight bias may be more vulnerable to binge eating and psychological distress during the pandemic. Weight bias and stigma during the COVID-19 pandemic, and their effects on health and well-being, warrant greater investigation and consideration in public health efforts.
本文探讨了 COVID-19 大流行期间体重偏见和耻辱的潜在来源，包括“隔离 15 磅”信息，以及媒体和公共卫生运动中对肥胖的讨论。我们考察了体重偏见对大流行期间健康的影响的证据，并强调了未来研究中需要解决的未解决问题。
调查居家令期间体重变化的研究得出的结果喜忧参半，主要依赖于自我报告的回顾性回忆，因此对普遍存在的“隔离 15 磅”效应的证据较弱。迄今为止，尚无研究评估以肥胖为重点的 COVID-19 媒体和公共卫生信息对体重耻辱和健康的影响。有体重偏见史的个体在大流行期间可能更容易暴饮暴食和心理困扰。在 COVID-19 大流行期间的体重偏见和耻辱及其对健康和福祉的影响值得在公共卫生工作中进行更多的调查和考虑。
