Our findings suggest that fat-related and weight-neutral terms may be associated with more positive outcomes, and challenge advocacy and requirements for person-first medicalized language that pathologizes body size.

In Sample 2, preferring medicalized terms was associated with lower critical health awareness and higher weight controllability beliefs.

In Sample 1, folks recovered from EDs were more likely to choose “fat” than those currently struggling. Those who pref “fat” had the highest body appreciation+ critical health awareness, lowest eating disorder symptoms, lowest weight bias internalization, and lowest weight controllability beliefs🔥

Importantly, we deviated from previous research that focused only on convos recommending weight loss in medical settings, + often asked thin(!) participants. We know, for better or worse, people refer to bodies outside of that limited 👀 context, so it’s important to expand the scope of the samples!
