Overweight men were forgiven more easily than women

The average increase in body weight leads to social discrimination against women, but not to men.

The desirable values ​​of body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5-25 kg / m2 (the optimal value is 22 kg / m2).

A study by Yale University has shown that women with a BMI of 27 kg / m2 and above are discriminated against at work or have problems in relations with the district.

While men the same thing happens when you have body mass index of 35 kg / m2 higher.

The study authors have found that discrimination on the basis of body weight is much more frequent than gender discrimination.
