Dissatisfaction with body image is considered a relevant variable in understanding the mental health of adolescents. In this respect, the scope of this study was to evaluate the impact of this dissatisfaction on variables associated with the mental health of Brazilian students enrolled in the 9th year. To achieve this, the data from the 2015 National School Health Survey was used and the methodology applied was based on Propensity Score Matching (PSM). The results showed that dissatisfaction with one's own body has an impact on the mental health of adolescents, with a positive influence on the probability of the student reporting a frequent feeling of loneliness, reporting insomnia for reasons of anxiety and having difficulty socializing. This impact increased with the degree of dissatisfaction with body image, with girls being more affected than boys. Thus, it is important to develop strategies for a more positive perception of body image among adolescents, contributing to the increase in the well-being of this group in line with existing body differences.
对身体形象的不满被认为是理解青少年心理健康的一个相关变量。在这方面，本研究的范围是评估这种不满对巴西九年级学生心理健康相关变量的影响。为实现这一目标，使用了2015年全国学校健康调查的数据，应用的方法基于倾向得分匹配（PSM）。结果表明，对自身身体的不满会对青少年的心理健康产生影响，对学生报告频繁感到孤独、因焦虑而失眠以及社交困难的可能性有积极影响。这种影响随着对身体形象不满程度的增加而增大，女孩比男孩受影响更大。因此，制定策略以促进青少年对身体形象形成更积极的认知很重要，这有助于根据现有的身体差异提高该群体的幸福感。
