People who feel that they've been judged because of their weight are less likely to exercise than those who don't feel judged, a new study from England finds.
Those who felt they were discriminated against were 60 percent more likely to be inactive, and 30 percent less likely to report exercising at least once a week, compared with those who didn't report such feelings, according to the study.
The findings highlight one example of how feelings of discrimination can affect people's health.
