“…In addition, the scale showed good temporal stability (test-retest) of 0.95 (p < 0.0005). Through exploratory factor analysis, Ochner et al 18 proposed a factorial structure with three factors: (1) musculature (items 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 13, 16 and 24), (2) The MBDS was previously evaluated for use with young Brazilian adults (18-30 years old) through an analysis of its conceptual, semantic and instrumental equivalence and an analysis of its internal consistency 19 . Translation, back-translation, translation synthesis, expert committee evaluation, pre-test, and internal consistency analysis were performed.…”

“…Translation, back-translation, translation synthesis, expert committee evaluation, pre-test, and internal consistency analysis were performed. The MBDS was translated into and adapted to the Portuguese language while maintaining its 25 original items and was shown to be easily understandable with adequate internal consistency (α = 0.92) 19 .…”

Background: The study of male body image has increased substantially, but there are few assessment tools available for this population. The Male Body Dissatisfaction Scale (MBDS) has been widely used among students to research body image disturbances and eating disorders. However, the psychometric properties of this instrument have not been tested in the Brazilian context. Objectives: To explore the psychometric properties (convergent validity, internal consistency, test-retest reliability and factor structure) of the Brazilian version of the MBDS. Methods: Two-hundred sixty-four undergraduate students were evaluated. Pearson's correlation was used to test the convergent validity of the MBDS and the Drive for Muscularity Scale, the Swansea Muscularity Attitudes Questionnaire, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Eating Attitudes Test-26, and the Commitment to Exercise Scale. Test--retest reliability was evaluated using t-tests for repeated measures and by calculating the coefficient of intraclass correlation. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted, and Cronbach's α coefficients were determined. A significance level of 5% was adopted. Results: The MBDS had an adequate factor structure, with two factors explaining 52.67% of the total variance. It showed excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α between 0.90 and 0.92), a high intraclass correlation coefficient (0.81), and convergent validity with the drive for muscularity, the psychological commitment to exercise, low self-esteem, and eating disorder risk behaviour measures. Discussion: The MBDS appears to be a valid and reliable tool for evaluating Brazilian male body image dissatisfaction.

“…Nesse sentido, a Escala de Insatisfação Corporal Masculina (Carvalho et al, 2013;Carvalho, Conti, Neves, Meireles, Oliveira, & Ferreira, 2015) seria uma ferramenta mais adequada para avaliação da insatisfação corporal de jovens adultos brasileiros. Outra opção seria a utilização de Drive for Muscularity Scale, uma das mais conhecidas escalas de avaliação da busca pela muscularidade em jovens adultos, psicometricamente testada para população brasileira (Campana, Tavares, Swami, & Silva, 2013).…”

Social Comparison, Body Dissatisfaction and Eating Behavior in Young AdultsThe purpose of this study was to compare social comparison behavior (CCS) among young adults according to body dissatisfaction (IC) and inappropriate eating behavior (CAI). 563 individuals (276 women) between 18 and 35 years of age took part in the study. Mann-Whitney U test was applied to compare the CCS according to IC and CAI. We identified differences in social comparison behavior between satisfied and dissatisfied groups, and between with and without inappropriate eating behavior groups, only among women. We conclude that social comparison behavior is associated with body dissatisfaction and inappropriate eating behavior in women, which did not occur in men.

“…Thus, biases due to the presence of psychiatric conditions cannot be fully addressed. Lastly, although it is a valid method for assessing the nutritional status, BMI was self-reported and may not be suitable for evaluating aspects of male body image, since in this population a concern with muscularity is a crucial aspect of body change behaviors 29 .…”

Background: The body-checking is a frequent behavior observed in young adults. It is associated with body dissatisfaction and inappropriate eating attitudes. However, its association with nutritional status remains unclear. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the association between body-checking behavior and nutritional status. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study with 587 (311 men) undergraduate students from the city of Juiz de Fora -Minas Gerais. The frequency of body-checking behavior was assessed by Body Checking Questionnaire and Male Body Checking Questionnaire; and inappropriate eating attitudes by Eating Attitudes Test-26. Body weight and height were self-reported. Descriptive, Chi-square test of association and Multiple Correspondence Analysis were done, adopting a statistical significant level of 5%. Results: Association was found between body-checking behavior, nutritional status and gender (c 2 (64) = 3219.88; p < 0.001). The Multiple Correspondence Analysis demonstrated association between the nutritional status categories low weight, eutrophia and overweight conjointly with low and moderate body-checking categories. Obesity and high body-checking, in turn, were inversely associated. Discussion: There was an association between nutritional status and the frequency of body-checking behaviors in young adults of both genders. Body-checking is a behavior that deserves attention and monitoring in epidemiological and clinical practices.
