Nearly half of underweight and obese young Indians report severe body image issues, prompting calls for mental health support in schools and clinics.
A study by AIIMS and ICMR involving 1,071 young Indians aged 18–30 found that nearly half of underweight and obese participants experienced moderate to severe body image concerns, with higher rates of self-consciousness, anxiety, and low confidence compared to those with normal or overweight body weights.
Over half reported constant preoccupation with weight, and many felt judged or lacked confidence.
Researchers emphasize the need for mental health support in weight management, calling for body image literacy and resilience programs in schools and healthcare settings to address stigma and improve overall well-being.
