Body dysmorphic disorder is defined as a preoccupation with apparent defects in patient's appearance which causes significant distress and impairment. This study was conducted in 186 students who attended premedical preparation classes with the mean age of 16.81 years with the primary motive of determining body dysmorphia among adolescent age group.
The main objective of this study is to assess body dysmorphia among teenage adolescents and young adults.
This cross-sectional study was conducted in premedical preparation class in January 2019. The student's ages range from 16 to 18 years with mean age being 16.81 years. Once verbal consent was obtained the students were asked to fill an anonymous predesigned questionnaire. Continuous variables were summarized as mean and standard deviations, whereas categorical variables were summarized as proportion (%).
All the data from the questionnaire were extracted and compiled in MS Excel and percentage and frequencies were applied as needed.
The mean age of the participants was 16.81+/- 0.82 years with almost equal percentage of females (52.13%) and males (47.84%). Our study shows that in general females are more dissatisfied from their body than males. Both sexes have different areas of concerns. In females, there is more discontent about body fat, facial hair, height, and complexion. In comparison in males the frustration is more regarding muscular body, acne, height, weight, and hair thinning. Despite differences in areas of concern both males and females show dissatisfaction with their body image.
It has been concluded that there is a rising surgence of body dysmorphia in adolescents.

本研究的主要目的是评估青少年和青年成年人中的躯体变形症。
这项横断面研究于2019年1月在医学预科预备课程中进行。学生年龄在16至18岁之间，平均年龄为16.81岁。在获得口头同意后，要求学生填写一份预先设计的匿名问卷。连续变量以均值和标准差进行总结，分类变量以比例（%）进行总结。
从问卷中提取所有数据并在MS Excel中进行整理，根据需要应用百分比和频率。
参与者的平均年龄为16.81±0.82岁，女性（52.13%）和男性（47.84%）的比例几乎相等。我们的研究表明，总体而言，女性对自己身体的不满程度高于男性。男女关注的领域不同。女性对体脂、面部毛发、身高和肤色更为不满。相比之下，男性对肌肉身材、痤疮、身高、体重和头发稀疏更为沮丧。尽管关注领域存在差异，但男性和女性对自己的身体形象都不满意。
