In this commentary, we discuss how the practice of measuring gestational weight gain may perpetuate weight stigma and resultant discrimination if not thoughtfully assessed. We offer suggestions to reduce the likelihood of weight stigma and discrimination in perinatal care settings.
在本评论中,我们讨论了如果对孕期体重增加的测量方法没有经过深思熟虑的评估,那么这种做法可能会使体重污名化以及由此产生的歧视持续存在。我们提出了一些建议,以降低围产期护理环境中出现体重污名化和歧视的可能性。
