Obesity discrimination refers to the unfair treatment of individuals based on their body weight or size. This form of bias can occur in various settings, including the workplace, healthcare, and social situations. People who experience obesity discrimination may face negative stereotypes, social stigma, and even exclusion from certain activities or opportunities. Such discrimination can have serious consequences for mental and physical health. Individuals may suffer from low self-esteem, anxiety, or depression due to the negative perceptions associated with their weight. Additionally, obesity discrimination can hinder access to quality healthcare, as providers may hold biases that affect their treatment decisions, impacting overall well-being.
