“…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.…”

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.

“…Although there is a test-retest reliability scale developed specifically for Brazilians 14 , it presents some limitations, such as asymmetries and lateralized position in silhouettes, which are factors that may make it difficult for participants to choose at the time of test application 15 . After reviewing the instruments to evaluate body image in the Brazilian population, Carvalho and Ferreira 16 reported that due to the complexity and multidimensionality of the subject, there is still a need for an expressive number of instruments that evaluate body image in this population. Despite the advances in knowledge about the subject, a large number of studies use non-validated measures, so that there is still a methodological gap that makes it difficult to understand body image in the Brazilian population 17 .…”

-Body image is an important parameter of body satisfaction and needs to be evaluated with instruments developed and validated for a specific population. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a scale to assess body image in Brazilian women. A scale consisting of 11 silhouettes was prepared. Content validation was performed by seven experts from different health areas. To assess repeatability (two consecutive assessments) and reproducibility (reassessment after one week), an intentional sample stratified into four groups according to the characterization of Brazilian women regarding nutritional status was selected. Participants were 125 women aged 18-55 years and body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 38.6 kg/m2. The Kappa coefficient (k) was used to assess repeatability and reproducibility, considering the isolated responses of the current body, ideal body and the difference between them, assumed as satisfactory when k≥0.6. For all trials, α=0.05. During the content validation phase, the instrument developed was changed following the evaluators' suggestions and it was considered very suitable by six of seven evaluators. The Kappa coefficient was good in isolated issues and in the difference between them in both repeatability and reproducibility. The Body Image Scale was considered a valid content, with good repeatability and reproducibility. Considering the instrument as low cost and of rapid implementation/evaluation, it may be used to evaluate the body image of Brazilian women with BMI between 18.5 and 38.6 kg/m2, in different contexts.

“…A insatisfação com o próprio corpo, considerada um sentimento negativo geralmente relacionado ao sexo feminino 2 , pode estar presente também em indivíduos do sexo masculino [3][4][5] . Nestes, quando é o caso, a preocupação está voltada para a quantidade de músculos, em especial nos ombros, peitorais e braços 4 .…”

“…Importante observar que, assim como a busca pela magreza (drive for thinness), comum entre as mulheres, a busca pela "muscularidade" pode trazer consequências negativas para a saúde física e psicológica do sujeito 4 . O desejo por um corpo musculoso pode estar associado ao abuso de substâncias ergogênicas e esteroides anabólicos 4,6 , à depressão e baixa autoestima 3 , assim como à prática excessiva de exercício físico e ao grau de comprometimento psicológico ao mesmo 5 . Em resumo, a busca pela "muscularidade" é uma variável de interesse por estar associada a diversos comportamentos deletérios a saúde, inclusive com o transtorno alimentar 3 , porém ainda é pouco investigada.…”

RESUMOIntrodução: A busca pela "muscularidade" parece estar associada a diversas variáveis que impactam a saúde e a qualidade de vida dos sujeitos. No entanto, há uma carência de estudos sobre o construto, um baixo número de instrumentos de medida específicos para sua avaliação, além de reduzida avaliação de indivíduos do sexo masculino. Objetivo: Avaliar a busca pela "muscularidade" e associá-la a sintomas depressivos, autoestima, comportamentos de risco de transtornos alimentares e ao grau de comprometimento psicológico com o exercício físico. Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo transversal com 246 jovens adultos do sexo masculino. Foram utilizados instrumentos de autorrelato para avaliar a busca pela "muscularidade" (Drive for Muscularity Scale), autoestima (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale), sintomas depressivos (Beck Depression Inventory), comportamentos de risco de transtornos alimentares (Eating Attitudes Test-26) e o grau de comprometimento psicológico com o exercício físico (Commitment Exercise Scale). Foi utilizado o teste de associação de Pearson para verificar relação entre as variáveis do estudo e Análise de Regressão Linear Múltipla (forward) para verificação do quanto as variáveis do estudo influenciam na busca pela "muscularidade". Resultados: A busca pela "muscularidade" esteve associada à autoestima (r pearson = 0,13; p < 0,05), aos comportamentos de risco de transtornos alimentares (r pearson = 0,20; p < 0,05) e ao grau de comprometimento psicológico ao exercício (r pearson = 0,62; p < 0,05). O grau de comprometimento psicológico com o exercício explicou 38,4% da variância total da busca pela "muscularidade", 12,3% da insatisfação com a "muscularidade" e 51,0% dos comportamentos orientados para a "muscularidade". Conclusão: A busca pela "muscularidade" está associada à baixa autoestima, aos comportamentos de risco de transtornos alimentares e, em especial, ao grau de comprometimento psicológico com o exercício físico, o que alerta profissionais de saúde sobre os riscos da busca excessiva pelo ideal de corpo hipermusculoso e comportamentos deletérios à saúde decorrentes dessa busca.Descritores: imagem corporal; transtornos da alimentação; autoimagem; depressão.
