This project aimed to establish whether meaningful body image profiles (BIPs) could be identified across measures of body shame, body appreciation, and body mass index (BMI), and whether these profiles could differentiate key health behaviours. Data came from 1200 adult women who responded to an online body image survey. Latent profile analysis was used to identify BIPs based on relative levels of body shame, body appreciation and BMI. Differences in dietary restraint and weekly exercise amount were investigated according to BIP membership. Latent profile analysis revealed four unique BIPs; 1. Appreciative BIP (AP-BIP); 2. Medium Shame BIP (MS-BIP); 3. High Shame BIP (HS-BIP) and 4. Average BIP (AV-BIP). Dietary restraint and exercise amount differed significantly according to BIP in most comparisons. Women in the High Shame BIP exhibited the highest dietary restraint and lowest exercise. Women in the Appreciative BIP exhibited the lowest dietary restraint and highest exercise. Body shame and body appreciation intersect with BMI to form unique profiles (BIPs) that differentiate dietary restraint and exercise. Using BIPs to tailor interventions designed to promote healthful diet and exercise should be considered in public health initiatives.
本研究旨在确定在身体羞耻感、身体欣赏和体重指数（BMI）的测量中是否可以识别出有意义的身体形象特征（BIP），以及这些特征是否可以区分关键的健康行为。数据来自于 1200 名成年女性，她们对一项在线身体形象调查做出了回应。基于身体羞耻感、身体欣赏和 BMI 的相对水平，采用潜在剖面分析来识别 BIP。根据 BIP 成员的不同，调查了饮食克制和每周运动量的差异。潜在剖面分析揭示了四个独特的 BIP；1. 欣赏 BIP（AP-BIP）；2. 中等羞耻感 BIP（MS-BIP）；3. 高羞耻感 BIP（HS-BIP）和 4. 平均 BIP（AV-BIP）。在大多数比较中，根据 BIP，饮食克制和运动量有显著差异。高羞耻感 BIP 中的女性表现出最高的饮食克制和最低的运动量。欣赏 BIP 中的女性表现出最低的饮食克制和最高的运动量。身体羞耻感和身体欣赏与 BMI 相互作用，形成独特的身体形象特征（BIP），这些特征可以区分饮食克制和运动。在公共卫生倡议中，应考虑使用 BIP 来定制旨在促进健康饮食和运动的干预措施。
