Conceptual models of weight stigma towards PPP women have advanced our understanding of this issue and guided evidence accumulation but there remains a gap in informing the translation of evidence into action. Guided by evidence-based paradigms for conceptual model development, this paper has two primary objectives. First, we review and summarise theories, frameworks, and models from the PPP population and general literature to inform our understanding of the development and perpetuation of weight stigma for PPP women. Second, we propose a novel comprehensive intervention-guiding conceptual model that draws from and synthesises across multiple disciplines - the SWIPE (Stigma of Weight In the PPP Experience) model.

Here, I illustrate a variety of potential considerations about moral values, including issues like exclusion, marginalisation, autonomy, responsibility, non-maleficence in relation to various common analytical choices and practices, such as the use of thresholds for disease diagnosis or population definition, the use of composite measures in the context of clarifying effects, classification practices, decisions on variable selection, as well as decisions relating to (dis)aggregation of data. I discuss these examples in the context of reasonable theoretical or statistical reservations. I advocate for deeper engagement with the difficult moral implications of analytical decisions, and for a principled and pluralistic science, that is also a more robust science.
