Body image estimations in 86 normal-weight adolescent girls showed (a) a tendency to overestimate body width and underestimate body length and (b) an association between the younger ages and the extent of overestimation of body width. In particular there is a sharp drop in overestimation between ages 10 and 11 and thereafter a more gradual and non-significant decline. These age-specific normative data are useful in assessing body image distortions in a variety of medical and psychiatric disorders.
对86名体重正常的青春期女孩的身体形象评估显示：（a）存在高估身体宽度和低估身体长度的倾向；（b）年龄越小，身体宽度高估程度越高。特别是在10岁至11岁之间，高估程度急剧下降，此后下降更为缓慢且无统计学意义。这些特定年龄的规范数据有助于评估各种医学和精神疾病中的身体形象扭曲情况。
