Declarations
:
: In the following article, we use the terms “underweight”, “average weight” and “overweight” in line with the body mass index (BMI) ranges defined by the World Health Organization. We recognize the frequently negative connotations of “overweight” and the inherent prejudice and weight stigmatization associated with this term within the general population. We distance ourselves completely from any form of stigmatization, insults, and offensive language, and wish to emphasize that we use these terms only to describe the BMI ranges categorized by the WHO. None of the descriptions in this article are intended to stigmatize any individual or to attribute the term “overweight” as an identity description, prejudice, or negative stereotype to the participating daughter-mother dyads or other groups of people.
: The study was approved by the ethics committee of Osnabrück University and is in line with the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. As the participants included minors, their written informed consent as well as written informed consent from their parents was mandatory.
: The authors report no conflict of interest.
