To assess the level of body dissatisfaction among undergraduate medical students in the city of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
A cross-sectional study with 232 volunteers of both sexes at a private college. The Body Shape Questionnaire was used, which is a tool based on the sum of values that allow classifying body dissatisfaction according to the following scores: less than 111, if absence of body dissatisfaction; between 111 and 138, if mild body dissatisfaction; between 139 and 167, if moderate body dissatisfaction, and from 168, if severe body dissatisfaction. In addition, the self-reported body mass index and an assertion were used to assess the degree and perception (insight) of body dissatisfaction. For the statistical analysis, descriptive comparison, and binary logistic regression tests were performed.
The mean result of the Body Shape Questionnaire among women was 96.0±34.1 and among men, 76.7±24.7, with 26.3% of students with some level of dissatisfaction with self-image. Most participants (76.3%) wished to have a body mass index lower than the real one. Women (odds ratio of 5.7), overweight individuals (odds ratio of 6.1), and individuals with insight into their condition (odds ratio of 89.7) were more likely to be dissatisfied with the body image measured by the Body Shape Questionnaire.
The search for a thin body among undergraduate medical students is a reality. In addition to overweight individuals, the female population has a significant level of body distortion, being recognized as the highest rate of body dissatisfaction in the sample surveyed.
评估巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州茹伊斯-迪福拉市本科生医学生的身体不满程度。
这是一项在一所私立学院进行的横断面研究，共有 232 名男女志愿者参与。采用身体形状问卷，这是一种基于数值总和的工具，可根据以下分数对身体不满进行分类：少于 111 分，表示没有身体不满；111 至 138 分，表示轻度身体不满；139 至 167 分，表示中度身体不满，168 分及以上，表示严重身体不满。此外，还使用自我报告的体重指数和断言来评估身体不满的程度和认知（洞察力）。进行了描述性比较和二元逻辑回归检验进行统计分析。
女性的身体形状问卷平均得分为 96.0±34.1，男性为 76.7±24.7，有 26.3%的学生对自我形象有一定程度的不满。大多数参与者（76.3%）希望拥有低于实际体重指数的体重。女性（比值比为 5.7）、超重者（比值比为 6.1）和对自身状况有洞察力的个体（比值比为 89.7）更有可能对身体形状问卷测量的身体图像感到不满。
在医学生本科生中，追求苗条身材是一种现实。除了超重者，女性人群对身体的扭曲程度也有显著水平，被认为是调查样本中身体不满率最高的人群。
