Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 1986

This study set out to examine dietary and body shape concerns of four age groups (12-18 yr) of British female adolescents in order to compare current fmdings with previous results. Although less than 4% were overweight as measured by standard tables, over 10 times this number considered themselves overweight. Approximately half desired to alter their weight and considered various ways of doing so. The subjects' shape related directly to the subjects' desire to alter body shape, particularly in the oldest group. These results are discussed in terms on the literature on the development of an idea of ideal body shape, increasing interest in exercise and previous research in the area.

Body image and eating patterns among adolescents

BMC Public Health, 2013

Background: Data on the association between body self-perception and eating patterns among adolescents are scarce. This study assessed the association between body image and eating patterns among normal-weight, overweight and obese adolescents. Methods: A cross-sectional survey (n = 1231; 12-17 years old) was carried out in the Balearic Islands, Spain. Anthropometry, body image, socio-economic determinants, and food consumption were studied. Results: Fifty-one percent of boys and sixty percent of girls that wished to be thinner had less than or equal to 3 eating occasions per day. Overfat girls that wish to be thinner skipped breakfast more frequently than normal-fat girls. Overfat boys and girls that wished a thinner body reported lower consumption of several food groups than normal-fat adolescents and overfat boys satisfied with their own body image (i.e. breakfast cereals, pasta and rice dishes, other oils and fats, high fat foods, soft drinks and chocolates in boys; and dairy products and chocolates in girls).A restriction of Western diet foods and energy intake was associated with a wish to be thinner among overfat adolescents. Conclusions: Many overfat boys were satisfied with their body image while practically all overfat girls reported wishing a thinner body. Meal patterns and food consumption were associated with body dissatisfaction and overfat status among adolescents.

Assiut Scientific Nursing Journal, 2013

body image and eating behavior have been major concern for adulthood especially among college students. In this study, we aimed to know body image concern among college students and assess the relationship between body image and eating behavior among university students. Subjects and Methods: cross-sectional study of 495 male and female students enrolled in first and fourth grade from practical and non practical faculties randomly selected completed a questionnaire consisting of socio-demographic characteristics, Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26), Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ-34) and Body Figure Rating Scale (BFRS). Results: The majority of male and female students have normal weight and average body mass index, Females choose (thin figure, very thin and below average, respectively) as a current shape which represent their body shape. While males choose shape (below average and thin figure) as current shape. Females were significantly more feeling anxious, overweight, and concerned about their body shape than males (p=0.001, 0.01 and 0.04, respectively). Conclusions: Based on the results of the present study, it was concluded that about more than half of participants have normal weight according BMI. The present study found that females were more concerned about their body shape more than males. Body shape concerns among females were associated with anxiousness, feeling overweight, and preoccupation with food and purging behavior. Recommendations: health education about body image and its effect on psychological status and eating behaviors of the students and how to deal with negative body image.

Perception of body image and tendencies of eating behaviour among adolescents

Health and Primary Care

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate attitude to body image and compare sex and body mass index differences in body perception among schoolchildren of 7-10 grades in Lithuania. Method: Data was obtained from 3248 adolescents (mean age = 14.83 (SD = 1.28), 49.5% male) who fully completed self-report questionnaires. Participants were grouped and subsequently analyzed according to their body mass index and sex. Results: Tendencies among males and females were analyzed. Overall 39.6% of the female and 11.8% of male adolescents wanted a thinner body. More females than males replied that they have tried dieting, wished to become thinner, were afraid of becoming fat or even of gaining a small amount of weight and felt not able to control their eating. However, more males answered exercising to control weight, consuming large amounts of food at once and inducing vomiting after meal. Discussion: Findings suggest the importance of addressing aspects of negative body image, associated with different BMI categories, gender differences and disordered eating behavior in clinical settings and public health policies.

Body image dissatisfaction and its impact on healthy eating habits in adolescents in Jakarta, Indonesia

International Journal of Child and Adolescent Health, 2021

Studies in developed countries have shown a relationship between body image dissatisfaction (BID) in adolescents and eating disorders. The prevalence of BID in several countries has been reported to be 10-75% in male teenagers and 24-90% in female teenagers, but there is limited data from developing countries. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of BID in adolescents in an urban city of Indonesia, nutritional status as a risk factor for BID, and unhealthy eating habits caused by BID. This was a crosssectional study conducted from August until November 2020 involving students aged 15 to 18 years old from selected high schools in Jakarta. The questionnaire to collect anthropometric data, body dissatisfaction scale (BDS), and eating habits was shared via an electronic link. There were 154 subjects (47.1%) suffered from BID and most of them wanted to be thinner. Higher body mass index (BMI) was the most significant factor correlated with BID, with an adjusted odds ratio of 2.8 (1.777-4.471). There was a significant but weakly positive correlation (p = 0.044; r = 0.112) between BID score and eating habit score, indicating that the more subjects wanted to be thinner, the healthier their eating habits were. The prevalence of BID in the adolescent population in Jakarta was high. Since BID was significantly associated with higher BMI, weight control programs in adolescents should not be weight labelling and body image friendly.

Adolescents and Body Image: A Cross Sectional Study

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2015

Objectives To assess proportion of adolescents perceiving their body image as normal and to study association between body shape, self-esteem and body mass index; each with body image perception. Methods A cross sectional study was conducted among pre university college (PUC) students of Udupi taluk. A total of 550 students in the age group of 15-19y were randomly selected from 11 PUC's: four were taken from government and unaided strata respectively and three from aided. The PUC's were selected based on proportional allocation from a total of 48 PUC's. From each PUC a class was randomly chosen as a cluster; all students in the class were included. Body shape questionnaire and Rosenberg self-esteem scale were used to assess body shape concerns and self-esteem respectively. Height and weight was measured and body mass index was calculated. SPSS version 15 has been used for analysis. Results were tabulated using frequency distribution and proportions. Multinomial logistic regression was done. Results About 38 % of the respondents perceived their body image as normal. Body shape [OR=0.48,95 % CI: 0.305, 0.76], self-esteem [OR=6.12,95 % CI: 2.76, 13.9] and body mass index [OR=4.65,95 % CI: 2.13,10.12] were found to be independently associated with body image perception. Conclusions Educational institutes are a major component of adolescent's lives; the identified factors for body image perception should be taken into consideration and appropriate educational efforts to be incorporated into the routine curriculum.

Food choice criteria in adolescents according to body image

Hassapidou, M. and Papadopoulou, S.K. ) test was used to assess the differences between sub- groups. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results showed that 35.9% of the adolescents (45% females and 26.6% males) wanted to lose weight, while 14% (6.3% females and 22% males) wished to gain weight. The remaining 50.1% (48.7% females and 51.4% males) wanted to maintain their body weight. Food appearance constituted a more important criterion for the adolescents who wished to gain weight compared to those who wished to maintain their weight and the adolescents who wanted to lose weight.

Body Composition, Eating Behavior, Food-Body Concerns and Eating Disorders in Adolescent Girls

Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism, 2003

Aims: Dieting is a behavioral phenomenon which is becoming more frequent among adolescents and the search for weight loss, through dieting, may result in an unbalanced nutrition both quantitatively and qualitatively. Our study intended to look at the eating habits and behavior on a cohort of adolescent girls to verify the presence of unbalanced diets and the prevalence of eating disorders with particular attention to the partial syndromes (EDNOS). Methods: A cross-sectional doublestage study was carried out on a group of schoolgirls in the suburbs of Naples. We assessed anthropometrical measures, body composition (skinfolds and bioimpedance analysis), dietary intake by means of 3-day food records and we administered the Eating Disorder Inventory 2 and Psychosocial Factor Risk Questionnaire. A multidisciplinary and double-stage approach had been used to get a better diagnosis of eating disorders in our sample. Results: 156 adolescent girls, 14-18 years old, took part in our study. Height, weight, and BMI were 160.38 cm, 58 kg and 22.6, respectively. Analysis of food intake showed that all the values reported, with the exception of lipids and sodium, were below the recommendations by LARN. We observed a prevalence of 1.28% of bulimia nervosa, 1.28% of binge eating, and 10.25% of eating disorders not otherwise specified. EDI 2 and PRFQ confirmed how important drive for thinness and body dissatisfaction dimensions are when we deal with adolescent girls and with the phenomenon of dieting. The study confirmed the validity of the PRFQ questionnaire to evaluate mass media influence on body perception and eating behavior of adolescents. Conclusion: Multidisciplinary and well-designed studies are needed to systematically and accurately study eating habits and behavior of adolescents to tackle more efficiently the increasing spread of eating disorders and obesity.

Biological, psychological, and sociocultural correlates of body change strategies and eating problems in adolescent boys and girls

Eating Behaviors, 2005

The present study examines correlates of body change strategies and eating problems in youths. A large sample of adolescents aged 12 to 16 years (N = 307) was asked to complete a set of questionnaires, which measured biological (age, pubertal status, and body mass index [BMI]), psychological (self-esteem, body dissatisfaction, body importance, and body comparison), and sociocultural variables (influence of media, parents, and peers), as well as body change strategies and disturbed eating attitudes and behaviors. Results showed that boys generally try to become more muscular, whereas girls attempt to lose weight. Further, correlational and regression analyses demonstrated that biological, psychological, and sociocultural influences made unique and significant contributions to various body image and body change/eating problems variables. Finally, hierarchical regression analyses yielded theoretically meaningful models for the main body change strategies in boys and girls. In these models, BMI, self-esteem, and sociocultural influences turned out to be significant predictor variables, while bodyimage-related factors, and in particular body comparison (i.e., the tendency to compare one's body with that of others), partially or fully mediated the influence of some predictor variables.
