Obesity disproportionately affects racial and ethnic minoritized populations and those of lower socioeconomic status. Similarly, disparities exist in the development of its downstream consequences, such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension. The causes of these disparities are multifactorial and are influenced by structural factors such as segregation and healthcare access, and individual-level factors such as weight stigma. Interventions to decrease disparities in obesity should consider macro-level, community, and individual-level factors that might reduce disparities and improve equity in obesity care. Clinicians must also recognize the chronic nature of obesity, and how bias and stigma may impact patient care.
