Abstract

Objective: Self-esteem may be adversely affected in adults with overweight or obesity, particularly women and those showing higher BMIs, although there is no consensus in the literature. The objective of the current study, based on reported cross-sectional associations, was to clarify the relationship between global self-esteem and overweight/obesity in adults.

Methods: Four databases were searched to identify eligible literature published prior to June 2024, and a systematic review was conducted of the 120 articles identified. Meta-analytic processing of 38 eligible articles at the study level and of the participant data obtained from 16 studies (n = 2,972) was conducted for quantitative synthesis. Potential moderators, such as gender, age, BMI, type of assessment, and treatment-seeking status, were tested.

Results: The summary correlation between BMI and self-esteem across studies was r = -0.11, 95% CI [-0.17, -0.05], z = -3.70, p < .001. None of the tested moderators affected this association, although the meta-analysis of the individual participant data provided by the authors revealed a small effect of gender and a non-linear evolution of self-esteem linked to BMI.

Conclusion: The present study found a negative relationship between global self-esteem and overweight/obesity in adults, which suggests a negative, although weak, effect of excess weight on self-perception.

全面自尊与超重/肥胖程度：它们在成年人群中有联系吗？系统回顾和荟萃分析。

目的：超重或肥胖的成年人，尤其是女性和体重指数（BMI）较高的成年人，其自尊可能会受到不利影响，但文献对此尚未达成共识。本研究以报道的横断面关联为基础，旨在阐明总体自尊与成年人超重/肥胖之间的关系：对四个数据库进行了检索，以确定 2024 年 6 月之前发表的符合条件的文献，并对确定的 120 篇文章进行了系统综述。对 38 篇符合条件的文章进行了研究层面的元分析处理，并对从 16 项研究中获得的参与者数据（n = 2972）进行了定量综合。对潜在的调节因素，如性别、年龄、体重指数、评估类型和寻求治疗的状况进行了测试：各项研究中体重指数与自尊之间的相关性为 r = -0.11，95% CI [-0.17, -0.05]，z = -3.70，p < .001。尽管对作者提供的受试者个人数据进行的荟萃分析表明，性别和自尊与体重指数之间的非线性变化会产生微小的影响，但所测试的调节因素都不会影响这种关联：本研究发现，成年人的整体自尊与超重/肥胖之间存在负相关，这表明超重对自我认知的影响虽然微弱，但却是负面的。
