What are the implications of body size misperception for addressing chronic cardiometabolic disease management?
Body size misperception has implications for addressing chronic cardiometabolic disease management. Studies have shown that individuals who misperceive their body size are more likely to be overweight or obese, which increases their risk for chronic cardiometabolic diseases. Additionally, body size misperception is associated with fewer positive health behaviors, such as engaging in physical activity and eating a healthy diet, which can further increase the risk for developing chronic cardiometabolic diseases. Therefore, it is important to consider body size misperception when designing interventions to address chronic cardiometabolic disease management, as it can be a contributing factor to the development of these diseases.
