    Weightism, also known as weight-related discrimination, is pervasive and believed to be one of the socially accepted types of discrimination in Asia. Weightism is pervasive, impactful, and has significant repercussions on individuals grappling with excess weight. Despite being a major risk factor for obesity, excess weight is not well documented in the Asian literature. This narrative review explores compelling evidence indicating that weightism adversely affects both physical and psychological well-being across various aspects of life. Research findings suggest that weightism be deemed socially unacceptable in Asia to mitigate the obesity epidemic and enhance overall well-being. Consequently, several recommendations for reducing weight stigma in Asian culture are proposed to support a healthier future.
