Fat-shaming actually makes people's health worse, study
by Pennsylvania University finds
节录：
Fat shaming people into losing weight has the reverse effect and makes
them more likely to have a heart attack, according to new research.
根据研究，想以称"肥宅"羞辱方式去驱使肥宅减肥会遭反效果，更可能会使它们
心脏病发作。
The idea that fat shaming - the term used to describe mocking a person
for their size - inspires victims to shed the pounds is a myth, scientists
have warned.
Researchers said painful messages drive people towards comfort eating and
may increase the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disease.
研究者称痛苦的言语刺激将使肥宅吃的更理所当然，并且可能增加心血管和
代谢疾病的风险。
Professor Rebecca Pearl, of the University of Pennsylvania, said: "There
is a common misconception that stigma might help motivate individuals with
obesity to lose weight and improve their health.
Rebecca Pearlru教授称：一个常见的误解，认为羞辱可能有助于激发肥宅减肥和
改善健康。
"We are finding it has quite the opposite effect. When people feel shamed
because of their weight, they are more likely to avoid exercise and consume
more calories to cope with this stress.
我们发现它有相反的效果。当肥宅因为体重而感到羞愧时，他们更有可能避免运动
并且消化(吃)更多的热量(馊水)来应对这种压力。
Co-author Professor Tom Wadden said: "Health care providers, the media, and
the general public should be aware blaming and shaming patients with obesity
is not an effective tool for promoting weight loss, and it may in fact
contribute to poor health if patients internalise these prejudicial messages.
共同作者Tom教授说：医疗保健提供者，媒体和一般大众应该意识到，用指责和羞辱患
者肥胖并不是一个有效的工具来达成减肥。
"Providers can play a critical role in decreasing this internalisation by
treating patients with respect, discussing weight with sensitivity and
without judgment, and giving support and encouragement to patients who
struggle with weight management - behaviours everyone should display when
interacting with people with obesity."
可以通过对患者多尊重，当讨论体重时不要太白目且太武断，以及对与体重管理奋斗的
患者给予支持和鼓励，这应当是每个人在与肥胖患者互动时应该表现出的行为。
