OBESITY
Perceived personal stigma ratings were relatively low for the calorie label (mean [SD], 1.9 [1.2] on the 1-5 scale). Participants rated the traffic light (ADE, 0.16; 95% CI, 0.09-0.23), physical activity (ADE, 0.10; 95% CI, 0.03-0.17), and nutrient warning (ADE, 0.19; 95% CI, 0.12-0.26) labels, but not the green label (ADE, −0.03; 95% CI, −0.10 to 0.04), as more personally stigmatizing than the calorie label. Compared with the calorie label, the traffic light (ADE, 0.13; 95% CI, 0.06-0.19) and nutrient warning (ADE, 0.19; 95% CI, 0.13-0.26) labels led to higher perceptions that the labels stigmatized people with obesity, while the green label lowered this perception (ADE, −0.21; 95% CI, −0.27 to −0.14). None of the 4 interpretative labels led to higher disgust toward people with obesity. The effects of the interpretative labels on stigma outcomes were not moderated by obesity status (eTable 9 in
