This study examined body image in adult women along with probable correlates including health behaviors, negative affect, quality of life, and functional impairment. Adult women ( = 738, age = 25-86 years) completed an online survey assessing these domains. Women across all ages reported similar body image concerns. Negative body image significantly correlated with poorer wellness behaviors, negative affect, quality of life, and functional impairment. The inverse held for positive body image. The majority of correlations remained even when controlling for negative affect. Further research is warranted to investigate nature of the correlational relationships identified in this study.
本研究调查了成年女性的身体意象，以及可能的相关因素，包括健康行为、负性情绪、生活质量和功能障碍。成年女性（n=738，年龄 25-86 岁）完成了一项在线调查，评估了这些领域。所有年龄段的女性都报告了类似的身体意象问题。负性身体意象与较差的健康行为、负性情绪、生活质量和功能障碍显著相关。而正性身体意象则相反。即使在控制了负性情绪后，大多数相关性仍然存在。有必要进一步研究以探讨本研究中确定的相关关系的本质。
