《柳叶刀》欧洲区域卫生杂志将内化的体重耻辱与多种因素联系起来。 The Lancet Regional Health Europe links internalized weight stigma to various factors.

一项为期 20 年的研究发现，那些在青少年时期受到家庭或媒体减肥压力的人、女性、非异性恋者以及那些遭受社会经济劣势的人最容易遭受内化体重歧视。 20-year study finds people who experienced family or media pressure to lose weight as teenagers, females, non-heterosexual individuals, and those experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage are most at risk of internalized weight stigma. 这种形式的耻辱涉及人们对自己施加与肥胖相关的负面刻板印象，这可能导致心理健康状况不佳、饮食失调和医疗延误。 This form of stigma involves people applying negative obesity-related stereotypes to themselves, which can lead to poor mental health, eating disorders, and delayed medical treatment. 这项研究发表在《柳叶刀区域卫生欧洲》杂志上，是首次使用英国大量样本来检验这一问题的研究。 The study, published in The Lancet Regional Health Europe, is the first to use a large UK sample to examine the issue.
