A = D had 4.3 more chances to be alexithymic than A < D. 35% of A < D accepted their physical appearance, contrarily A = D (66%) and A > D (69%) (p = 0.0018). 50% of A < D felt offended by social aggression due to their weight; A = D (20%) and A > D (34%) (p = 0.007). 3.6 more chances of A > D than A < D using anti-hypertensive drugs (p = 0.021) (≥41 years old) and 3.5 more chances to perceive A = D (41-60 years old) (p = 0.023).
