Language Frames and Shapes the Response to Obesity
GASTROENTEROLOGY CLINICS OF NORTH AMERICA(2023)
摘要
Because the scientific understanding of obesity has grown, explicit expressions of weight bias have steadily become less acceptable. However, implicit weight bias and stigma remain common impediments to health. Language frames the public perception of obesity. It is problematic when public discourse or scientific publications reflect misinformation or bias against people with obesity because this can promote stigma and barriers to health. Examples of stigmatizing language include descriptions of obesity as an identity rather than a disease, language that describes obesity as a crisis or a cause for panic, and excessive focus on weight or appearance rather than health outcomes.
