Weight stigma is pervasive amongst the population dealing with obesity, and contributes to both physical and emotional health problems in those affected. Allurion found in their June 2022 research survey* that men’s health may be more compromised by this stigma in the UAE. The survey reported that half of the male population define themselves as overweight, with 40% intending to lose weight over the next 12 months[1].
