Description
Nagata and a large team link unfair treatment over sexual orientation to eating disorder signs in young teens in twenty twenty-four. Such treatment is known to harm the health of gay and bisexual people. The team used a large United States study of brain growth in children. They tracked close to nine thousand youths aged ten to thirteen across two years.
About one in eighteen reported unfair treatment over sexual orientation in the first year. Those youths had higher odds of worry over weight gain a year later. They were also more apt to tie their self worth to their weight. The authors urge doctors to screen for such treatment and offer kind, informed care.
