“…But other studies found disagreeing findings and reported overestimation of body size by obese people in general. 21,22 The fact that those drawings reported as desired were largely within lower ranges of BMI compared to those reported as current BMI is suggestive of body image dissatisfaction, showing that both men and women praise thinness ideals. The appreciation of thinness in modern societies, of bodies so lank unattainable for most people, creates a condition of everlasting dissatisfaction.…”

OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between body mass index and selfperception of body image. METHODS:A study was carried out in a sample comprising 106 female and male university students aged 18 years or more in Ribeirão Preto, Southeastern Brazil, in 2003. The Contour Drawing Rating Scale and Visual Analogue Scale were used to evaluate body image perception; the former was applied using two different psychometric methods. A body image questionnaire was used to assess the subjective component of body image. Subjects were classified according to body mass index. Statistical analyses were performed through variance analysis and Newman-Keuls post-hoc test. RESULTS:Most normal weight or overweight women (87%) overestimated their body size while obese women and all men (73%), regardless of their BMI, underestimated their body size. The differences of body image perception between men and women were statistically significant as well as the overall dissatisfaction with their perceived body size, revealed by a desired lower body mass index. Overweight women were more concerned and uncomfortable with their own body. CONCLUSIONS:Both men and women had a distorted self-perception of body image, underestimating or overestimating it. The study results suggest dissatisfaction of subjects with their body image as they desire to have leaner bodies.

“…This view was similarly echoed in a report of the House of Commons Health Committee in 2004. 37 More recently a survey by the Dr Foster organisation published in 2005 40 showed that primary care organisations employ a number of innovative approaches to the management of obesity; however, there is considerable national and regional variation in the service provided. The survey also showed that while more organisations had established weight management clinics than in their previous survey in 2003 (up by 5%), in the majority of general practices (69%) there was still no organised weight-management clinic.…”

It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' . The HTA pro...

RESUMO -O objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver escalas de silhuetas para crianças e adultos brasileiros de ambos os sexos e iniciar a avaliação de suas qualidades psicométricas. Foram fotografados adultos e crianças com Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) previamente conhecidos, desenhadas as silhuetas e construídas as escalas por computação gráfica. Para avaliação da fidedignidade, procedeu-se ao teste-reteste com intervalo de um mês. As escalas foram aplicadas e reaplicadas a 90 adultos (18 a 60 anos) e 69 crianças (7 a 12 anos). As escalas apresentaram coeficientes de correlação entre teste e reteste positivos e significativos para o IMC real e IMC percebido como atual por adultos (r=0,84; p<0,01) e crianças (r=0,61, p<0,01). Concluiu-se que as escalas desenvolvidas constituem instrumentos apropriados à aplicação clínica e epidemiológica para avaliar a percepção da imagem corporal de crianças e adultos brasileiros.Palavras-chave: imagem corporal; escalas de silhuetas; fidedignidade. A Figure Rating Scales for Brazilian Adults and Children:Development and Test-Retest Reliability ABSTRACT -The aim of this work was to develop figure rating scales to evaluate the body image of Brazilian adults and children. Adults and children with known Body Mass Index (BMI) were photographed and had their silhouettes drawn. Based on that, the scales were made by computer graphics. To evaluate the reliability of the scales, test-retest was applied with a gap of one month. Participants included 90 adults (18-60 years old) and 69 children (7-12 years old) of both genders. The instruments presented positive and significant correlations between test and retest for the actual BMI and those perceived as current by adults (r=0,84; p<0,01) and children (r=0,61, p<0,01). It was concluded that the developed scales represent useful instruments for clinical and epidemiological research involving body image perception of Brazilian adults and children.Key words: body image; figure rating scale; reliability. A imagem corporal constitui relevante tema associado às questões referentes ao peso corporal, aos transtornos alimentares e, consequentemente, à qualidade de vida através do bem estar proporcionado pela satisfação corporal (Cash, 2004;Leonhard & Barry, 1998;Thompson, 1996). É reconhecido o papel da insatisfação com a própria imagem corporal nos distúrbios alimentares e na produção do estresse característico da vida moderna, outro importante fator sociocultural associado ao quadro de morbimortalidade atual
