Abstract
We examined weight-related abuse (WRA) experiences across immigrant college students and explored potential predictors of WRA. Among 388 participants, there were generally low rates of verbal and physical WRA. Acculturation was generally not associated with WRA. Future research should consider other factors, such as age.
