“…5 Another study assessing students enrolled in several courses at UFSC found a prevalence of 77.6% of body image dissatisfaction. 6 These results suggest that, regardless of the field of study, university students present high prevalence rates of body image dissatisfaction, providing grounds for concern with regard to the consistent association between this phenomenon and the development of eating disorders, depression, low selfesteem, and a negative quality of life perception.…”

“…3 Both the Brazilian and the international literature have reported prevalence rates of body image dissatisfaction above 50% among university students. [4][5][6][7] In courses where physical appearance is important, e.g., physical education, high levels of dissatisfaction are even more common, reflecting the interest of these students in body-related issues. 8 This finding has provided grounds for concern, as high levels of body image dissatisfaction may lead to the development of eating disorders, low self-esteem, and excessive physical activity, especially among women striving to achieve the slim body ideal imposed by society.…”

“…9,10 Health-related behaviors, including excessive alcohol use, physical activity, dietary habits, and tobacco use, are important when discussing body image dissatisfaction, as they may be adopted in the search for an ideal body weight. 5,11,12 Also, several studies have investigated sociodemographic characteristics, such as sex, age, parental education, marital status, university course, work, living arrangement, study shift, and income. 5,6,13,14 Some of those studies failed to find an association between body image and study shift, income, and occupation among university students.…”

Objective: To determine the prevalence of and factors associated with body image dissatisfaction among physical education students enrolled in a public university. Methods: This study evaluated 236 students and assessed body image perception (silhouette scale), sociodemographic variables (sex, age, parental education, marital status, university course, work, living arrangement, study shift, and income), physical activity level (International Physical Activity Questionnaire -Short Version), dietary habits, tobacco use, excessive intake of alcohol (questions from the tobacco, alcohol and drugs, and nutrition domains of the FANTASTIC instrument), and nutritional status (body mass index [BMI]). Descriptive analysis, the chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and crude and adjusted multinomial regression were used. Results: The prevalence of body image dissatisfaction was 69.5%; 44.1% were dissatisfied with excess weight. BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m² was associated with dissatisfaction with excess weight; factors associated with dissatisfaction with slimness were being male, eating an unhealthy diet, and smoking tobacco. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that female college students with a BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m² are more likely to present dissatisfaction with excess weight. Being male, eating an unhealthy diet, engaging in physical activity for < 739.61 min/week and smoking tobacco were the variables associated with dissatisfaction with thinness. Keywords: Physical activity, nutritional status, students, body image. ResumoObjetivo: Verificar a prevalência e os fatores associados à insatisfação com a imagem corporal em universitários de educação física de uma universidade pública federal. Métodos: Foram avaliados 236 universitários. Foram mensurados a percepção da imagem corporal (escala de silhueta), variáveis sociodemográficas (sexo, idade, escolaridade dos pais, estado civil, curso universitário, trabalho, moradia, turno de estudo e renda), nível de atividade física (Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física -Versão Curta), hábitos alimentares, uso de tabaco, consumo excessivo de bebidas alcoólicas (questões dos domínios tabaco, álcool e drogas, e nutrição do questioná-rio Fantástico) e estado nutricional [índice de massa corporal (IMC)]. Utilizou-se análise descritiva, o teste do qui-quadrado, o teste exato de Fisher e regressão multinomial bruta e ajustada. Resultados: A prevalência de insatisfação com a imagem corporal foi de 69,5%; 44,1% eram insatisfeitos por excesso de peso. IMC ≥ 25,0 kg/m² esteve associado a insatisfação por excesso; os fatores associados à insatisfação por magreza foram sexo masculino, alimentação inadequada e tabagismo. Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem que acadêmicos do sexo feminino e com IMC ≥ 25,0 kg/m² têm mais chances de apresentar insatisfação por excesso de peso. Sexo masculino, alimentação inadequada, prática de atividade física < 739,61 min/semana e uso de tabaco foram as variáveis associadas a insatisfação por magreza.

Objective: To investigate the association between body image disorders and the lifestyle and body composition of female adolescents. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: The Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) and Silhouette Scale and Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 were used to evaluate the participants’ body image. Body composition was evaluated by a Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry equipment, and lifestyles were identified by latent class analysis (LCA) using the poLCA package for R. Participants: Female adolescents aged 14–19 years old, in the city of Viçosa-MG, Brazil. Results: In total, 405 girls participated in the study. Almost half of the participants were dissatisfied with their current physical appearance (51·4 %), presented body perception distortions (52·9 %). 47·3 % of the adolescents were dissatisfied with their body according to the BSQ, and another 8 % severely so. Subjects with an ‘Inactive and Sedentary’ latent lifestyle were 1·71 times as likely to feel dissatisfied as those with active and sedentary or inactive and non-sedentary lifestyles (95 % CI 1·08, 2·90, P = 0·047). Body image disorders showed an association with decreased amounts of moderate and vigorous physical activity, high screen time, increased alcohol consumption and excess body fat. Conclusions: Particular patterns of lifestyle and body composition seem to be associated in female adolescents with dissatisfaction with, distortion of and excessive concern about appearance. Specifically, physical inactivity, sedentary behaviour, alcohol consumption and high body fat percentage may be strongly linked to body image disorders.

Physical exercise has the ability to alter the measurements of the body related to esthetic. The objective of the present study was to compare the body image and body esthetic between two groups of women with different levels of physical activity. We evaluated 79 women who were divided into 2 groups: 39 women with low or moderate levels of physical activity, and 40 women with high levels of physical activity according to the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Anthropometric and body composition measurements were taken using the InBody S10 multifrequency device (InBody Co., Eonju-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea). The scale of silhouettes, which is composed of 9 engravings of body images, was used to verify the body image, as well as the Portuguese version of the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) validated for university students. The group of evaluators was composed of twenty physical education professionals of both sexes, ten male and ten female. The group with low/moderate levels of physical activity, as expected, showed a lower amount (minutes per week) of physical activity of mild, moderate and vigorous intensity when compared with the group with high levels of physical activity (p < 0.05), and they also had a higher ratio of fat mass (FM) per height squared (p ¼ 0.047). The BSQ questionnaire scores, the current and ideal silhouettes, as well as body image dissatisfaction, were not different between the groups (p > 0.05). The overall body esthetic score, attributed only by the male and only by the female evaluators, did not differ significantly (p > 0.05). We concluded that the level of physical activity did not influence the body image and body esthetic of the women.Katielly Santana's ORCID is https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3129-0616.
