ResumoObjetivo: Verificar a relação entre o índice de massa corpórea, a autoestima e a autoimagem corporal de idosas participantes de grupos da terceira idade. Métodos: Estudo transversal por amostragem casual e assistemática. Participaram do estudo 50 idosas residentes no município de João Pessoa-PB. As variáveis pesquisadas foram: sexo, idade, estado civil, renda, escolaridade e índice de massa corpórea. A análise da percepção da imagem corporal foi realizada utilizando-se a escala de nove silhuetas (Sorensen & Stunkard). Para avaliar a autoestima, utilizou-se a Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg. Resultados: Não se observou significância estatística entre as variáveis estudadas. A média de idade das idosas foi 72,12 (6,14). O índice de massa corpórea apresentou média de 26,91 Kg/m², sendo verificado excesso de peso em 51,02%; a maior parte das idosas (90,60%) apresentou autoestima satisfatória, embora mais da metade (79,31%) delas se encontrasse acima do peso ideal; 87,50% estavam insatisfeitas com seu próprio corpo devido ao excesso de peso. Conclusão: Embora os dados não tenham mostrado significância estatística entre as variáveis, os resultados sugerem que, apesar de a maioria das idosas estar com excesso de peso, a autoestima apresentou nível satisfatório, enquanto a percepção da autoimagem corporal foi insatisfatória.

The aim of this study was to analyze the nutritional quality and antinutritional factors of okra leaves subjected to different process. Proximate composition, calcium, magnesium, potassium were determined, as well as lectin, tannin, saponin and total phenolic compounds. The okra leaves showed a predominance of carbohydrates, fibers and proteins that were not significantly affected by process, being also considered source of calcium, magnesium and potassium. Extracts obtained from bleached, cooked, lyophilized leaves and from 30% fraction, buffer showed the presence of lectin. The tannin contents found were 3.39% in lyophilized leaves, 0.45% in fresh leaves, 0.44% in bleached leaves and 0.27% in cooked leaves. The presence of saponin was not detected. The extract showed content of phenolic compounds of 19.27 mg of GA/g. The okra leaves can be included in human diet as a nutritionally suitable food.
