The present aim was to explore the body-image perception of a group of 60 hospitalized obese subjects, aged between 25 and 50 years, undergoing a weight loss treatment and 60 normal-weight persons. The 1978 modified version of the Askevold perception test by Allamani, Marasco, Michele, and Morandi was given. This nonverbal test is aimed at evaluating subjects' perception of the dimensions of different parts of the body by exploiting their projection into space. Each body area (head, the thoracic area, the abdominal area, and the pelvic area) perceived by a subject was calculated using a specifically designed software program (AREA.BASIC2); the same program was used to calculate actual body area. After obtaining the percentage deviation index for each individual [(perceived area/real area) x 100], mean values were analyzed. Obese subjects significantly underestimated the four body areas, unlike the normal weight subject who largely overestimated the abdominal and pelvic areas.
目前的目的是探究一组60名年龄在25至50岁之间正在接受减肥治疗的住院肥胖受试者以及60名正常体重者的身体形象认知。采用了由阿拉马尼、马拉斯科、米凯莱和莫兰迪于1978年修改版的阿斯克沃尔德感知测试。这项非语言测试旨在通过利用受试者对身体不同部位在空间中的投射来评估他们对这些部位尺寸的认知。使用专门设计的软件程序（AREA.BASIC2）计算受试者所感知的每个身体区域（头部、胸部区域、腹部区域和骨盆区域）；使用相同程序计算实际身体区域。在获得每个个体的百分比偏差指数[（感知面积/实际面积）×100]后，对平均值进行分析。与正常体重受试者在很大程度上高估腹部和骨盆区域不同，肥胖受试者显著低估了这四个身体区域。
