Scientific research on stigma requires an extensive collaborative endeavor, both domestically and internationally, among diverse researchers, institutions, and countries.Background Smoking and obesity are major public health concerns, though little is known about the mental and physical health burden of co-occurring obesity and smoking. Methods Using a nationally representative sample of U.S. military veterans, we examined the prevalence of mental and physical co-morbidities, physical and mental functioning, and quality of life between obese only; smoking only; and obese smokers. Results Among current smokers, 31.7% were obese; among obese veterans, 16.4% were current smokers; and in the total sample, 5.4% were obese and current smokers. Relative to the obese-only group, obese smokers were more likely to be younger, male, non-white, non-married, unemployed and VA-served, and have lower household incomes. These also reported higher levels of perceived stress and trauma and were more likely to endorsed current suicidal ideation and lifetime suicide attempts (odds ratio [OR]=2.0), medical (2.3 less then =OR less then =3.9) and psychiatric (1.5 less then =OR less then =2.9) comorbidities, and lower overall health status and quality of life. Compared to the smoking-only group, obese smokers were more likely to endorse current suicidal ideation (OR=2.0) and nicotine dependence (OR=1.5), and reported poorer physical health and overall quality of life. Analyses were adjusted for sociodemographic and military characteristics. Limitations The cross-sectional study design precludes causal inference. Conclusions These findings suggest that co-occurring obesity and smoking is associated with substantial mental and physical health burden
