This study aimed to identify attitudes and reactions toward physical changes in midlife women. A Facebook thread, presenting a series of comments related to an initial statement, instigated by a radio program was analyzed. The thread contained 87 responses to the question "Does the voice in your head get kinder as you get older?" Content analysis revealed positive (56%) and negative (40%) comments and four themes: physical changes with aging, the decreased importance of physical appearance, the importance of sociocultural influences, and the invisibility of women in midlife. Findings revealed both positive and negative body image experiences in women related to midlife and have implications for prevention.
本研究旨在确定中年女性对身体变化的态度和反应。分析了一个脸书帖子，该帖子呈现了一系列由一个广播节目引发的、与一条初始声明相关的评论。该帖子包含了对“随着年龄增长，你内心的声音会变得更温和吗？”这一问题的87条回复。内容分析揭示了积极（56%）和消极（40%）的评论以及四个主题：衰老带来的身体变化、外表重要性的降低、社会文化影响的重要性以及中年女性的隐形。研究结果揭示了中年女性与身体形象相关的积极和消极体验，并对预防工作具有启示意义。
