The impacts of body dissatisfaction have been widely studied among adolescent girls, but much less in women in mid-life. In this study, we evaluated the associations between body dissatisfaction, psychological health and behaviors used to manage age-related changes, in an online survey of 331 women aged 45-65. Body dissatisfaction, importance of appearance and aging anxiety were associated with higher depression scores. Moreover, importance of appearance and aging anxiety were associated with the probability of using "anti-aging" behaviors. It seems that with age, for a subgroup of women, the pressure to stay young may be added to that of staying thin.
身体不满的影响在青少年女性中得到了广泛研究，但在中年女性中研究较少。在这项研究中，我们通过对 331 名 45-65 岁女性的在线调查，评估了身体不满、心理健康和管理与年龄相关变化的行为之间的关联。身体不满、对外表的重视和对衰老的焦虑与更高的抑郁评分相关。此外，对外表的重视和对衰老的焦虑与使用“抗衰老”行为的可能性相关。随着年龄的增长，对于一小部分女性来说，保持年轻的压力可能会与保持苗条的压力一起增加。
