The relationship between body appreciation and sexual risk reduction behavior in women is under-explored. This cross-sectional study examined the relationships between body appreciation, male condom use, and sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing among a community-based sample of women (n=285). Logistic regression results revealed that after controlling for age, BMI, and sexual orientation, having more than one sexual partner moderated body appreciation and current male condom use (OR=4.21, p<.01, CI=1.510-11.726). Body appreciation was not a significant predictor of STI testing in the previous 12 months. This suggests that women with higher body appreciation may be more likely to engage in some protective sexual health behaviors. Interventions that seek to improve body appreciation instead of body size change such as weight loss or gain may encourage certain protective sexual behaviors in women.
身体欣赏与女性性行为风险降低之间的关系尚未得到充分探究。本横断面研究调查了在基于社区的女性样本（n=285）中，身体欣赏、男用避孕套使用和性传播感染（STI）检测之间的关系。逻辑回归结果显示，在控制年龄、BMI 和性取向后，有一个以上性伴侣会调节身体欣赏和当前男用避孕套的使用（OR=4.21，p<.01，CI=1.510-11.726）。身体欣赏不是过去 12 个月中进行 STI 检测的重要预测因素。这表明，身体欣赏度较高的女性可能更有可能采取某些保护性的性健康行为。旨在改善身体欣赏而不是体重增减的干预措施，如减肥或增重，可能会鼓励女性采取某些保护性的性行为。
