Introduction: A significant number of individuals are dissatisfied with their body size and weight, and wish to be thinner. Some of the physical changes associated with aging do not inevitably lead to greater body dissatisfaction but there is evidence suggesting that the importance and concerns attached to appearance and body image may be similar in all ages. This study aimed at analysing body image perceptions, body image satisfaction, and body mass index in older adults.
