OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine whether BMI and weight discrimination are
associated with psychological, behavioral, and interpersonal responses to the
coronavirus pandemic. METHODS: Using a prospective design, participants
(N?=?2,094) were first assessed in early February 2020 before the coronavirus
crisis in the United States and again in mid-March 2020 during the President's
"15 Days to Slow the Spread" guidelines. Weight, height, and weight
discrimination were assessed in the February survey. Psychological, behavioral,
and interpersonal responses to the coronavirus were assessed in the March survey.
RESULTS: Prepandemic experiences with weight discrimination were associated with
greater concerns about the virus, engaging in more preventive behaviors, less
trust in people and institutions to manage the outbreak, and greater perceived
declines in connection to one's community. BMI tended to be unrelated to these
responses. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the risks of complications of coronavirus disease
associated with obesity, individuals with higher BMI were neither more concerned
about the virus nor taking more behavioral precautions than individuals in other
weight categories. Weight discrimination, in contrast, may heighten vigilance to
threat, which may have contributed to both positive (greater concern, more
precautionary behavior) and negative (less trust, declines community connection)
responses to the pandemic.
