We conducted a longitudinal investigation of body dissatisfaction in adolescent boys and girls, in order to evaluate the influence of biological, psychological, and sociocultural predictors for body dissatisfaction, and its association with eating disorder symptoms. Validated self-administered scales were selected, thereby assessing the various aspects of body image, symptoms of eating disorders, depression, and self-esteem. Four hundred and ninety-eight adolescents (236 girls) participated in the study. Most of the evaluated outcomes remained stable for over a year. Overall, results pointed to sociocultural influence, as evaluated by SATAQ-3, as the main influencing factor on body dissatisfaction in both boys and girls, with less drastic effects seen for both biological and psychological variables. Body dissatisfaction also predicted symptoms of eating disorders. These results produce longitudinal evidence of the importance of sociocultural influence on body image among Brazilian boys and girls.
我们对青少年男女生的身体不满进行了纵向研究，目的是评估生物、心理和社会文化因素对身体不满的影响，及其与饮食障碍症状的关联。我们选择了经过验证的自我管理量表，从而评估身体意象的各个方面、饮食障碍症状、抑郁和自尊。498 名青少年（236 名女生）参与了这项研究。大多数评估结果在一年多的时间里保持稳定。总的来说，结果表明，SATAQ-3 评估的社会文化影响是男孩和女孩身体不满的主要影响因素，而生物和心理变量的影响则不那么明显。身体不满也预测了饮食障碍症状。这些结果提供了关于社会文化对巴西男女生身体意象影响的重要性的纵向证据。
