2.EATING DISORDERS:Research also Indicates that body dissatisfaction is linked to disordered eating, particularly among adolescent girls.

3.DEPRESSIONS: Women experience depression at much higher rates than men do, and some researchers believe that body dissatisfaction may play an important role in explaining this gender difference in depression rates

4.CRITICISMS: criticism of body positivity is that it can be non-inclusive. Depictions of body positivity messages tend to exclude people of color as well as those who are disabled, LGBTQ, and non-binary.
