Body image is the perception of individuals of their own body and it can be affected by many variables such as culture, social pressure, and media, but it is not limited to these factors. Body image disturbances are important because they lead to severe physical or psychological health problems. Development of body image dissatisfaction in Eastern communities has been increased in the past years. Despite many studies in Asian societies, In Iran, studies are scattered and limited. Our goal is a better understanding of this matter in Iran. A review of scientific literature about Body Image and Iran was conducted inPubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, Scopus, and ProQuest, also in Persian scientific databases such as Scientific Information Database (SID) and Thematic Guide to Iranian Publications (MAGIRAN). This search has been conducted in January 2018. Out of 389 articles, 44 of them were selected. In these articles, study period, sample characteristics, type of study, contributing variables, type of statistical analysis, and the main result of each article were extracted. Despite using different methods for detection of body dissatisfaction, results showed that this problem has a high prevalence in Iranian population. Contributing factors were also similar to the world findings. Review of studies regarding body dissatisfaction in Iran, revealed a high prevalence of this problem. It seems there is a need for interventional programs to prevent the negative consequences of body dissatisfaction, especially in teenagers and young people. Future studies with scientific or longitudinal design, which lead to better results, are recommended.
身体意象是个体对自身身体的认知，它会受到文化、社会压力和媒体等诸多变量的影响，但并不局限于这些因素。身体意象障碍很重要，因为它们会导致严重的身心健康问题。在过去几年里，东方社区中身体意象不满的情况有所增加。尽管在亚洲社会有许多相关研究，但在伊朗，研究较为分散且有限。我们的目标是更好地了解伊朗的这一情况。在PubMed、科学网、科学Direct、Scopus和ProQuest等数据库中，以及在波斯语科学数据库如科学信息数据库（SID）和伊朗出版物主题指南（MAGIRAN）中，对有关身体意象和伊朗的科学文献进行了综述。该检索于2018年1月进行。在389篇文章中，挑选出了44篇。在这些文章中，提取了研究时期、样本特征、研究类型、影响变量、统计分析类型以及每篇文章的主要结果。尽管使用了不同的方法来检测身体不满，但结果表明这个问题在伊朗人群中具有较高的患病率。影响因素也与全球研究结果相似。对伊朗身体不满相关研究的综述表明，这个问题的患病率很高。似乎有必要开展干预项目，以预防身体不满带来的负面影响，尤其是在青少年和年轻人中。建议未来进行具有科学性或纵向设计的研究，以取得更好的结果。
