The purpose of this study is to analyzebody satisfaction in non-institutionalized old people and its association with sex, body mass index (BMI) and gait speed.
Hundred six people have participated, 38 men (age=74.60 ±6.67 years old) and 68 women (age=72.76 ±4.68 years old). The Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) has been used together with body composition and a gait speed test.
Prevalence of body dissatisfaction in old people is about 5.6 %. Women have higher body fat percentage and less muscle mass. Significant differences were not found (p≥0.05) in the BSQ relating with sex. Obese old people with less gait speed showed higher score in BSQ. The Total BSQ is positively correlated with BMI (r=0.487, p<0.01), fat percentage (r=0.371, p<0.01) and negatively correlated with gait speed (r=-0.215 p<0.05)and perceived health status (r=-0.269, p<0.05).
Older people's body satisfaction is positively associated with the perception of health and gait speed and negatively with BMI.
本研究旨在分析非机构养老老年人的身体满意度及其与性别、体重指数（BMI）和步速的关系。
共有106人参与，其中38名男性（年龄=74.60±6.67岁）和68名女性（年龄=72.76±4.68岁）。使用了身体形状问卷（BSQ）以及身体成分和步速测试。
老年人身体不满意的患病率约为5.6%。女性的体脂百分比更高，肌肉量更少。在BSQ中未发现与性别相关的显著差异（p≥0.05）。步速较慢的肥胖老年人在BSQ中的得分更高。BSQ总分与BMI（r=0.487，p<0.01）、脂肪百分比（r=0.371，p<0.01）呈正相关，与步速（r=-0.215，p<0.05）和自我感知健康状况（r=-0.269，p<0.05）呈负相关。
老年人的身体满意度与健康感知和步速呈正相关，与BMI呈负相关。
