“…According to the DEAS guidelines, the scale reflects the mean of at least two required (recoded) valid items. Thus, it was treated as continuous variable, which is in accordance with previous research [ 21 ]. Higher values represent higher perceived social exclusion.…”

BackgroundThere is a lack of studies that focus explicitly on the association between social exclusion and obesity. The aim of the present study was to identify whether social exclusion is associated with obesity in older adults, and whether this association is moderated by sex.MethodsData were derived from wave 5 (2014) of the German Ageing Survey - a representative sample of individuals residing in private households aged 40 and over in Germany. A validated scale developed by Bude and Lantermann was used to assess social exclusion. Individuals with body-mass-index ≥30 kg/m2 were classified as being obese. Multiple linear regressions were applied in this study.ResultsLinear regressions showed that social exclusion was not associated with obesity in the total sample and in men, whereas women with obesity were less socially excluded than women without obesity (β = −.06, p = .02). The corresponding interaction term (sex x obesity) achieved statistical significance (p = .03).ConclusionsOur findings emphasize the negative association between social exclusion and obesity in women, but not men, highlighting the complex interplay between social factors and excess weight in individuals aged 40 and above. Future longitudinal studies are needed to clarify this relationship in further detail.

“…Besides, individuals were also only allowed to choose one principle, which made combinations of distributive justice preferences within domains impossible. In reality, people might even combine principles within domains (Franke & Simonson, 2018), but this is invisible with this instrument. Because of this methodological restriction, we probably overestimate consistency in preference for a particular justice principle.…”

“…Acknowledging domain-specificity is crucial, but it does not yet reveal the full variety and complexity of distributive justice preferences. While some individuals may apply the same justice logic universally across distributions, others call upon different criteria in their various distributive judgements (Franke & Simonson, 2018;Miller, 1992;Osipovic, 2015;Sachweh, 2012;Scott, Matland, Michelbach, & Bornstein, 2001). Franke and Simonson (2018), for instance, show that people often combine different and sometimes even seemingly 'inconsistent' or 'contradictory' social justice beliefs regard old-age provisions (cf.…”

“…Contrary to so-called variable-centred approaches that consider support for particular principles or domains as separate dimensions (e.g. Hülle, Liebig, & May, 2018;Meuleman, Roosma, & Abts, 2020), this person-centred approach has the benefit of uncovering the ideological coherence of individuals' justice preferences (Franke & Simonson, 2018). Because the person-centred paradigm is largely exploratory, it is difficult to predict exactly which configurations of interconnected principles will be retrieved.…”

“…Collins & Lanza, 2010;Meeusen, Meuleman, Abts, & Bergh, 2018) we construct a typology of social justice configurations that answers the question how individuals combine preferences for the social justice principles across welfare domains (cf. Franke & Simonson, 2018). Third, we investigate how particular configurations of social justice preferences are related to structural positions and ideological dispositions (Arts & Gelissen, 2001;D'Anjou et al, 1995;Ng & Allen, 2005).…”
