Description
Gabriela Pacheco Carniel's team linked discrimination to eating behaviors in 2026 among 1,502 Brazilian undergraduates in Porto Alegre. Discrimination may shape eating through stress pathways, yet intersectional patterns were little studied. Food approach and avoidance scores from a validated questionnaire were modeled against self-reported discrimination by weight, race, gender, and sexual orientation, alone and in sixteen combined strata.
Weight plus sexual orientation, weight plus gender, and weight plus race showed the highest food approach scores, while sexual orientation plus gender raised avoidance and weight-linked strata lowered it. Weight discrimination sat at the center of both patterns. Campus health teams get an intersectional map for eating support that must address stigma, not only nutrition.
