Supportive networks (including familial, social, healthcare, and employment) were key to initiation, engagement and maintenance of weight loss across all age groups and interventions. Intervention design and delivery approaches that were accessible, individually tailored, collaborative, age\u2010appropriate, culturally sensitive, and free from judgment and stigma were key to sustained engagement with programs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This umbrella review identified emotional, healthcare, cultural, and societal implications for the weight stigma and bias described by participants in the current literature.
