• W2890573337 abstract "In the July edition of Obesity, Muttarak wrote that the normalization of overweight and obesity leads to the underestimation of overweight and obesity (1). These data are based on self-perceptions of weight across an 18-year period. However, the article opens by discussing plus-size clothing and its apparent contribution to the normalization of overweight and obesity. The author also remarks that plus-size clothes retailers may have contributed to the normalization of overweight and obesity stigma, again an unevidenced claim that is not relevant to the study findings. This claim, though, is what made the media headlines. The multimodal dissemination of study findings is an essential part of the research cycle. Published studies often have a complementary press release that presents the main points in lay terms. Mutturak's article is no different (2). The gravitas of a press release should not be taken lightly. Via university press teams, they are sent to media outlets in hopes that study findings will be shared far and wide. Press releases should therefore be clear, pertinent, and timely to gain media attention. However, in Matturak's press release (2), the opening points—and indeed the quotes from the author—are neither supported by the study findings nor explored in the study. For years, people with overweight and obesity have been unable to purchase appropriately sized clothing. Appropriately sized clothes for people of all shapes and sizes should not be frowned upon. This reflects the body diversity seen in our society, and it is a human right to be able to purchase clothes that fit. Retail companies, like any other industry, respond to consumer demand and thus, understandably, provide more plus-size clothing in response to increasing overweight and obesity. Members of a United Kingdom–based charity—Helping Overcome Obesity Problems (HOOP)—dispute the author's claims. Sarah Le Brocq, Director of HOOP, says, “Our members are very aware that they have overweight or obesity. Being able to purchase clothes that fit has not made them think their weight is ‘normal.' We have a right to purchase clothes that fit, and the increase in plus-size clothing has been received positively by HOOP members.” “Normalisation of ‘plus size' may undermine the efforts to tackle obesity” - Business Standard (4) “Body-positive movement causes people to think they aren't obese, study says” - Newsweek (5) Within a month, this article achieved an Altmetric score of 541 (top 5%), with more than 60 media outlets publishing a story based on it. These news stories stir public debate via wide-scale sharing of sensationalist headlines on social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter, further spreading the inaccurate portrayals of obesity. As researchers, we have an obligation to report research objectively and to ensure messages offered to the media via press releases are substantiated by results. Like the media, researchers must avoid unevidenced claims that can compound already troublesome issues—in this instance, the inaccurate public perceptions about the normalization of obesity and potentially worsening weight stigma and discrimination." @default.
