The authors investigated the prevalence of body image concerns, body dysmorphic disorder, and related psychiatric symptoms in a group of 101 American students. Results were compared with data from a group of 133 German students. Survey data were collected on body image concerns, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and skin picking. A total of 74.3% of the American students endorsed body image concerns, and 28.7% were preoccupied by them; 4.0% appeared to meet DSM-IV criteria for body dysmorphic disorder. Body esteem was significantly correlated with self-esteem and depressive, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Body image concerns and preoccupation were significantly greater in American than in German students, although the prevalence of probable body dysmorphic disorder was not.
作者对101名美国学生群体中身体意象担忧、身体变形障碍及相关精神症状的患病率进行了调查。将结果与133名德国学生群体的数据进行了比较。收集了关于身体意象担忧、自尊、抑郁、焦虑、强迫症状及皮肤搔抓的调查数据。共有74.3%的美国学生认可身体意象担忧，其中28.7%的学生对此过度关注；4.0%的学生似乎符合《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第四版中身体变形障碍的标准。身体自尊与自尊以及抑郁、焦虑和强迫症状显著相关。美国学生的身体意象担忧和过度关注明显高于德国学生，不过可能患有身体变形障碍的患病率并无差异。
