Relationships among interoceptive sensitivity (IS), body image dissatisfaction, body mass index (BMI), and self-reported body awareness were investigated in a cross-sectional study. Eighty-two Norwegian high school students and 70 Hungarian undergraduate university students participated in the study. Subjects completed two questionnaires (Body Image Ideals Questionnaire - BIQ; Body Awareness Questionnaire - BAQ) followed by the assessment of interoceptive sensitivity using the Mental Tracking Method (MTM). An inverse, medium-level relationship between body image dissatisfaction and IS was found in both the Norwegian and the Hungarian samples. The relationships between IS and self-reported body awareness, and between body image dissatisfaction and BMI were uniformly non-significant in both samples. Predictors of body image dissatisfaction were resting heart rate, gender, and IS in the regression analysis after controlling for BMI, age, and nationality. The negative relationship between IS and body image dissatisfaction described in patients with anorexia nervosa also exists in healthy individuals. There is no direct connection between IS and self-reported body awareness.
在一项横断面研究中,对挪威82名高中生和匈牙利70名本科大学生进行了内感受性敏感性(IS)、身体意象不满、体重指数(BMI)和自我报告的身体意识之间关系的调查。受试者完成两份问卷(身体意象理想问卷-BIQ;身体意识问卷-BAQ),随后使用心理追踪法(MTM)评估内感受性敏感性。在挪威和匈牙利样本中均发现身体意象不满与IS之间存在负向的中等程度关系。在两个样本中,IS与自我报告的身体意识之间以及身体意象不满与BMI之间的关系均无统计学意义。在控制BMI、年龄和国籍后进行的回归分析中,身体意象不满的预测因素为静息心率、性别和IS。神经性厌食症患者中描述的IS与身体意象不满之间的负向关系在健康个体中也存在。IS与自我报告的身体意识之间没有直接联系。
