[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 999, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-obesity-travel/severe-obesity-raises-particular-travel-health-issues-idUSKCN1RE2DO'][B]Severe obesity raises particular travel health issues - Reuters[/B][/URL] International travelers who are obese may face difficulties with flights, hotel access and certain leisure activities, say researchers who suggest the travel industry and travel health specialists should address these issues. Based on interviews with severely obese men and women about their experiences with international travel, the small study found that airport facilities and procedures, physical discomfort and embarrassment on flights, and limitations associated with obesity were recurring themes, according to the report in the Journal of Travel Medicine. “Obesity is a common condition and we know that obese individuals are subject to physical restrictions and weight bias in their everyday lives,” said lead author Dr. Gerard Flaherty of the School of Medicine at the National University of Ireland Galway.
