Few studies have examined older women's body image. This study compared body image dissatisfaction (BID) and weight control practices; evaluated associations among BID, societal influences and concern for appropriateness (CFA); and identified the most important correlate of BID among younger (19-23) and older women (65-74). Questionnaires obtained information on demographics, weight control practices, societal influences (SATAQ-3), CFA and BID using the Figure Rating Scale. Findings revealed no difference in the prevalence of BID. The number of weight control practices and SATAQ-3 and CFA scores were correlated to BID. Pressure from the media was the most significant correlate of BID.
很少有研究调查老年女性的身体意象。本研究比较了身体意象不满（BID）和体重控制行为；评估了BID、社会影响与适宜性关注（CFA）之间的关联；并确定了年轻女性（19 - 23岁）和老年女性（65 - 74岁）中BID的最重要相关因素。通过问卷调查收集了人口统计学、体重控制行为、社会影响（SATAQ - 3）、CFA和使用体型评定量表的BID等方面的信息。研究结果显示BID的患病率没有差异。体重控制行为的数量以及SATAQ - 3和CFA得分与BID相关。来自媒体的压力是BID最显著的相关因素。
