The ability to inhabit the body positively may be one such mitigating factor, and the developmental theory of embodiment is a novel framework allowing exploration of an integrated range of protective (and risk) sociocultural factors that may contribute to embodied well-being. This cross-sectional survey study therefore examined relationships among embodied well-being, severity of PCOS symptoms, body mass index (BMI), mental freedom (exposure to a social environment that facilitates an internalised critical stance towards oppressive social discourses, including femininity discourses on appearance and comportment), and perceived body acceptance by others in a sample of 140 women with PCOS, 18 years and over, living in Australia. Results of hierarchical multiple regression demonstrated that BMI and PCOS severity were negatively related to embodied well-being, but that when mental freedom and perceived body acceptance by others were added to the model, only PCOS severity, mental freedom, and body acceptance by others were significantly related to embodied well-being. Neither mental freedom nor body acceptance by others moderated the relationship between PCOS severity and BMI and embodied well-being.

Two hundred and twenty-five participants from a university in the Northeastern U.S. (M<sub>age</sub> = 20.03; 71.2 % women) completed assessments of their awareness and interest regarding GLP-1s using questions developed specifically for this study. Participants also completed measures of body appreciation, body neutrality, self-objectification (body shame and surveillance), weight bias, concerns about weight, and attempts at weight loss; they self-reported their height and weight. Results indicated that participants who were most interested in trying GLP-1s and willing to tolerate their common side effects reported greater body shame, body surveillance, weight concerns, anti-fat bias, disordered eating behaviors, and higher BMIs, as well as lower body appreciation and body neutrality. Simultaneous regression analyses revealed that BMI and recent attempts at weight loss uniquely accounted for variance in interest in GLP-1 use and willingness to tolerate side effects of GLP-1s.

Media pressure was related to body shame both directly and via appearance comparisons and indirectly linked to ED symptoms through body shame.
