Obesity, eating behavior and physical activity during COVID-19 lockdown: A study of UK adults

Eric Robinson et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 crisis may have disproportionately impacted weight-related behaviors among UK adults, especially those with obesity. During the social lockdown, many participants reported negative changes in eating and physical activity behaviors, as well as experiencing barriers to weight management. Participants with higher BMI were particularly affected, showing lower levels of physical activity and diet quality, along with more frequent overeating. Reporting a decline in mental health due to the COVID-19 crisis was not associated with higher BMI, but was predictive of increased overeating and decreased physical activity during lockdown.

Exploring the impact of physical activity-related weight stigma among women with self-identified obesity

Maxine Myre et al.

Summary: Weight stigma has detrimental effects on physical activity for women with obesity, leading to negative emotions and self-protection techniques. Women may attempt to change their bodies to conform to societal weight norms, impacting how they view physical activity as a lose-lose situation. Efforts to resist weight stigma can lead to a decoupling of physical activity from body weight, pointing to the need for more inclusive promotion and practices in physical activity.
