People with obesity commonly face a pervasive, resilient form of social stigma. They are often subject to discrimination in the workplace as well as in educational and healthcare settings. Research indicates that weight stigma can cause physical and psychological harm, and that affected individuals are less likely to receive adequate care. For these reasons, weight stigma damages health, undermines human and social rights, and is unacceptable in modern societies. To inform healthcare professionals, policymakers, and the public about this issue, a multidisciplinary group of international experts, including representatives of scientific organizations, reviewed available evidence on the causes and harms of weight stigma and, using a modified Delphi process, developed a joint consensus statement with recommendations to eliminate weight bias. Academic institutions, professional organizations, media, public-health authorities, and governments should encourage education about weight stigma to facilitate a new public narrative about obesity, coherent with modern scientific knowledge.

结束肥胖耻辱的联合国际共识声明。


肥胖者通常面临着普遍存在的、有弹性的社会耻辱。他们经常在工作场所以及教育和医疗保健环境中受到歧视。研究表明，体重耻辱会造成身体和心理伤害，受影响的人不太可能获得足够的护理。由于这些原因，体重耻辱会损害健康，损害人权和社会权利，并且在现代社会中是不可接受的。为了让医疗保健专业人士、政策制定者和公众了解这个问题，一个由科学组织代表组成的多学科国际专家小组审查了有关体重耻辱的原因和危害的现有证据，并使用修改后的德尔菲法制定了一项联合共识带有消除体重偏差建议的声明。学术机构、专业组织、媒体、公共卫生当局和政府应鼓励有关体重耻辱的教育，以促进关于肥胖的新的公众叙述，与现代科学知识相一致。
