Relationships among components of the Body Dissatisfaction (BD) subscale, Body Mass Index (BMl), and relevant anthropometric measurements, including waist and hip circumference and abdominal skinfold were examined in 127 freshman and sophomore women. With one exception, Spearman's rank order correlations between questions on the BD subscale and anthropometric measurements of body parts were all significant at p <.05. These correlations were strongest between BD components and their anatomic referents. When corrected for body fatness, only the relationship between lower trunk and relevant questions from the BD subscale remained significant. In an ANCOVAR design, with hip circumference as the independent variable, BMl as the adjusted covariate, and dissatisfaction with hip size as the dependent variable, main effects were highly significant (F = 11.7, p <.001).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
