“…The test-retest follow-up period used is shorter than what has been employed for some other psychometric evaluations, but a 3 to 6 days interval is considered sufficiently long, as no statistical differences are observed between such an interval and longer periods. 10 What is more, the questionnaires were designed originally for UK/U.S. populations with some political and cultural differences from the Polish population.…”

“…Although a few tools measuring body image are available in the Polish language, e.g., the Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2), 9 the Body Image Quality of Life Inventory (BIQLI; both used for the convergent validity in our work), 10 the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ), 11 the Body Esteem Scale (BES), 12 the Appearance Appreciation Index (AAI), 13 the Cosmetic Procedures Screening Questionnaire (COPS; the last two validated lately by our team), 14 we chose to translate and conduct preliminary psychometric exploration of the BSQ and the FAS to expand the diversity of the body image assessment tools, deliver possibilities for the measurement of both negative and positive body image and equal the means accessible worldwide. This paper reports these translations and preliminary psychometric explorations.…”

Objective: Body image is defined as the perception of one's own body. While positive body image has a positive impact on quality of life, self-dissatisfaction may lead to depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. Body image might be quantified and evaluated: relevant instruments include the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) and the Functionality Appreciation Scale (FAS). This study was designed to translate and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Polish versions of these instruments. Methods: Translation (both forward and backward) from the original English versions of the questionnaires met international standards. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability are reported from 89 participants for the BSQ and 103 for the FAS. The participants also completed the Polish versions of the Body Image Quality of Life Inventory (BIQLI) and the Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2) to explore convergent validity. Results: Both, Polish versions of the BSQ and the FAS demonstrated good internal consistency and reproducibility. Convergent validity revealed a moderate relationship between the BSQ and the BIQLI scores, and a strong one between the FAS and the BAS-2 scores. Conclusion: Polish versions of both BSQ and FAS questionnaires showed sufficiently strong psychometric properties to support their use in clinical and research work with Polish speaking patients.

“…BI is a multidimensional construct that refers to an individual’s subjective representation of their body [ 14 , 15 , 16 ]. Evidence showed that a negative BI may be correlated with a high level of mental disorders such as anxiety and depression, as well as low self-esteem [ 17 , 18 ]. Moreover, self-reported studies demonstrated that participating in PA can positively affect perceived BI among adults [ 11 , 16 ].…”

Significant evidence suggests that regular physical activity (PA) is correlated with numerous psychological benefits in adults such as improving body image and quality of life. However, this issue has not been differentiated between young and older adults. In addition, most previous studies used a self-reported questionnaire for measuring PA, the objectivity of which is limited in several ways. Hence, by using accelerometer technology for monitoring PA, this study was designed to examine the correlations of PA with body image and quality of life in young and older adults. In this cross-sectional study, we used objective actigraphy and survey data from 147 young and older adults, including 77 young and 70 older adults from Tehran, Iran. To examine our variables and hypothesis, the following instruments were implemented: the Persian version of the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ), the Persian version of the Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF), and the ActiGraph wGT3X-BT for measuring PA. An independent t-test and a multivariate regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The weekly PA of both young and older adults was found to be lower than the recommended amount. Young adults engaged in significantly more weekly PA than older adults. For young adults, PA (including MPA, VPA, and MVPA) was generally found to be significantly correlated with body image and quality of life. For older adults, however, we found only significant correlations between VPA and quality of life. These findings indicated that PA is a critical concern in adults, particularly older adults. Accordingly, it is necessary to adopt appropriate strategies to promote an active lifestyle among adults.

Background The increased prevalence of overweight and obesity in the Czech Republic and Slovakia has led to heightened emphasis on weight control, particularly among women. Our aim is to explore body image perceptions among women in both countries and compare their attitudes, focusing on the relationship between body image and body mass index (BMI), height, weight, body fat and the weight control. Methods The cross-sectional study involved 358 female students from the University of Pardubice and Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra, with equal representation from the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Body parameters were assessed using anthropometric methods and the InBody 230 diagnostic device, while participants’ perceptions of their bodies were evaluated using the Body Shape Questionnaire. Results The results confirmed that BMI did not significantly influence self-perception among Slovak students, while Czech participants with increasing obesity tended to perceive themselves more negatively. Significantly higher median values for BMI (p = 0.0509), weight (p = 0.0507), height (p = 0.05) and body image (p = 0.002) were observed in the Czech Republic compared with Slovakia. No significant difference was found in weight control and fat between participants from both countries. Conclusions Although obesity was demonstrated in both nations, body satisfaction was different for participants from the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
