%X Obesity, which is one of the most important health problems of today, is the excessive increase of body fat mass compared to lean mass. In addition to health problems, women with visual impairments today are particularly concerned about the deterioration of their physical appearance and need to struggle with psychological and sociological problems stemming from the negative attitudes of society. The negative attitude displayed in the society against persons who have much body weight or obese is described as Fatphobia. People who are visually impaired and who have obesity problems have a tendency to social behavior with a lack of confidence in time, decreased sense of self, somatoform disorders, emotional disorders, anxiety disorders, depression and eating disorders. 50 visually impaired women ranging in age from 20 to 70 were included to study. Fatphobia survey and Beck depression scale were administered to each participant. In addition, participants' body mass index, exercise habits, eating habits, daily number of main meals, smoking habits, working and marital status were determined. According to exercise habits, when the results of the fatphobia survey were examined, it was seen that the people who have exercise habits 45 minutes or more in a day had a higher level of fatphobia. This suggests that people with fatphobia tend to exercise more. When the results of the fatphobia survey were analyzed according to marital status and smoking habits, it was seen that married people and non-smokers had more fatphobia. As the number of meals decreases, it is observed that fatphobia increases in workers who work in a job and eat irregularly. When the relationship between the Spearman correlation test and the parameters is examined, it is seen that there is a medium-strong correlation between exercise habit and fatphobia (R:0.629, p=0.001). Similarly, there is a moderate relationship between body mass index and Beck Depression Inventory and body mass index (R:0.528, p=0.001) and self-weight assessment (R:0.494, p=0.001). It has also been found that there is a strong correlation between body mass index and self-weight assessment (R:0.771, p=0.001). Especially in developing countries, social, physical and psychological problems caused by obesity together with disability are emerging as an important health problem. In society, it is necessary to develop and actively implement training programs aimed at acquiring regular nutrition and exercise habits in order to prevent individuals from exhibiting negative attitudes towards people with a higher body weight and to
