Unpacking negative body talk: Fat talk holds stronger impact on mental health, while old talk still raises concerns

Research investigates the impact of "old talk" (negative age-related body talk) on mental health and quality of life, highlighting its limited exploration compared to "fat talk." The study examines the contribution of old talk and fat talk to negative outcomes, considering their correlation and interaction with age.
