Abstract:

The negative perception of body image is related to the worsening of physical and mental health Cross-sectional study aimed to describe the relationship between body image and demographic, socioeconomic and behavioral factors in ninth grade students25 municipal elementary schools in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul. 810 students participated (85% of those eligible), aged 13 to 22 years (mean age 14.9 years). Data were collected through a standardized and pre-coded questionnaire and the relationship between the outcome (being satisfied, indifferent or dissatisfied with body image) and independent variables was analyzed using Multinomial Logistic Regression. Prevalence of body dissatisfaction of 31%, higher among girls who tried smoking or alcohol, suffered bullying, perceived themselves as fat or thin and tried to lose or gain weight. Greater indifference in those who attributed little or no importance to the image. In boys, more chances of dissatisfaction among those who tried smoking, suffered bullying, attributed little or no importance to their image, perceived themselves as fat and tried to gain weight. Greater indifference in boys who attributed little importance to image and were obese. About a third of the sample showed dissatisfaction, which was associated with some behavioral factors.
