Whether linked to social acceptability or not, the fact (17), at least according to this data,

woman. This type of information may be upsetting to some, especially if you are, say, short and
fat and a woman. But overall it points to the (20) of public health in society. Indeed, the
rationale for the study was to showcase that point. 第 1 页， 共 5 页
