1507/2013 - Percepção da imagem corporal e fatores associados em idosos residentes em município do nordeste brasileiro: Um estudo populacional. Body image perception and associated factors among elderly residents in a city in northeast brazil: A population-based study.
Objetivo: Verificar a percepção da imagem corporal e fatores associados em idosos residentes em Campina Grande/PB. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, de base populacional e domiciliar, com indivíduos de 60 anos ou mais, de ambos os sexos. A percepção da imagem corporal foi considerada variável dependente para fins de análise e de estudo das possíveis associações. As variáveis independentes avaliadas foram: grupo etário, estado nutricional, número de doenças, percepção de saúde e prática de atividade física regular. Para identificar os fatores associados foram realizadas análises de regressão univariada e multivariada, por meio do SPSS 17.0. Resultados: Foram avaliados 806 idosos (69,1% mulheres). Os homens apresentaram maior satisfação com a imagem corporal quando comparados às mulheres e idosos mais velhos apresentaram-se mais satisfeitos que idosos mais jovens. Entre os fatores relacionados à insatisfação nas mulheres, o baixo peso e sobrepeso/obesidade estavam relacionados a um risco aumentado de insatisfação. Entre os homens, idades avançadas constituíram fator de proteção para insatisfação, enquanto baixo peso e sobrepeso/obesidade foram fatores de risco para insatisfação. Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem possível influência do estado nutricional na percepção da imagem corporal, interferindo negativamente na percepção da imagem dos idosos de ambos os sexos.

Abstract:
Objective. To verify the body image perception and associated factors among elderlyCampina Grande / PB. Method. This is a cross-sectional, population and home-based study, with individuals 60 years or older, of both sexes. The body image perception was considered the dependent variable for purposes of analysis and study of possible associations. The independent variables were: age group, nutritional status, number of diseases, health perception and regular practice of physical activities. To identify factors associated, univariate and multivariate regression analyses were carried out, using the SPSS 17.0 software. Results. Overall, 806 elderly (69.1% women) were interviewed. Men showed greater satisfaction with body image when compared to women and older participants were more satisfied than younger participants. Among the factors related to dissatisfaction in women, underweight and overweight/obesity were associated with an increased risk of dissatisfaction. Among men, older age constituted a protective factor for dissatisfaction, while underweight and overweight/obesity were risk factors for dissatisfaction. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest a possible influence of nutritional status on body image perception in the elderly, negatively affect the perception of the image of the elderly of both sexes.
