To analyze body image in different periods of adolescence.
This cross-sectional study enrolled students aged ten to 19 years old of public schools in small districts of Minas Gerais, Southeast Brazil. The Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ), the Body Dissatisfaction Assessment Scale for Teenagers and the Silhouette Scale for Teenagers (SST) were used. Adolescence phases were classified according to the subjects' ages. Weight and height were measured in order to calculate the body mass index and the nutritional status. Results were analyzed by logistic regression.
The study emolled 531 teenagers (318 females). The average age was 15.6±2 .2 years and 84.6% were eutrophic. The prevalence of body dissatisfaction varied from 28.9% (BSQ) to 78.9% (SST). Overweight adolescents presented greater dissatisfaction (BSQ: OR 3.66, p<0.001; SST: OR 4.108, p<0.001). Dissatisfaction also occurred for females and those at the early adolescence (p<0.05).
A low prevalence of dissatisfaction with the body image was observed among adolescents in small towns of Minas Gerais; however, most of them wished a different silhouette than the current one. The results showed that younger adolescents had higher dissatisfaction than their peers, as well as female and overweighed adolescents.
分析青春期不同阶段的身体意象。
这项横断面研究纳入了巴西东南部米纳斯吉拉斯州小地区公立学校10至19岁的学生。使用了体型问卷(BSQ)、青少年身体不满评估量表和青少年轮廓量表(SST)。根据受试者年龄对青春期阶段进行分类。测量体重和身高以计算体重指数和营养状况。结果通过逻辑回归分析。
该研究纳入了531名青少年(318名女性)。平均年龄为15.6±2.2岁,84.6%营养良好。身体不满的患病率从28.9%(BSQ)到78.9%(SST)不等。超重青少年表现出更大的不满(BSQ:比值比3.66,p<0.001;SST:比值比4.108,p<0.001)。女性和青春期早期的青少年也存在不满(p<0.05)。
在米纳斯吉拉斯州的小镇青少年中,对身体意象不满的患病率较低;然而,他们中的大多数人希望拥有与当前不同的身材轮廓。结果表明,较年轻的青少年比同龄人、女性和超重青少年有更高的不满情绪。
