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.

Objective-To describe the frequency of self-weighing and reactions to prescribed weekly weighing among individuals with eating disorder (ED) diagnoses, and to compare individuals weighing more or less frequently on mass index (BMI) and the Eating Disorder Examination (EDE) subscales. Method-Baseline EDE and demographics from five studies (N = 758). Results-Self-weighing was most frequent among individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN), followed by those with bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED). On average, participants reacted moderately negative to prescribed weekly weighing. No relationship between weighing frequency and BMI was evident in any sample. There was indication of greater pathology (i.e., restraint, shape concern, weight concern, global) in AN with more frequent weighing. In BN, mixed evidence emerged to support a relationship between more frequent weighing and higher shape concern, weight concern, and global score. In BED, higher restraint was found in those who weighed versus those who did not.

La insatisfacción corporal es un constructo multifactorial donde el componente comportamental se encuentra orientado a la modificación del cuerpo. Mediante modelos de ecuaciones estructurales se analizan los efectos directos e indirectos del género, los factores cognitivo-emocionales y perceptivo de la insatisfacción corporal, el porcentaje de grasa y el número de dietas sobre el factor comportamental de la insatisfacción corporal. Los participantes han sido 400 universitarios mexicanos 268 mujeres y 132 hombres, con una edad media de 20.55 años (DE=1.83). El modelo propuesto obtiene un ajuste satisfactorio. En particular, los factores malestar emocional y perceptivo son los más importantes en la explicación de la dimensión comportamental de la insatisfacción corporal. Además, dichos factores son mediadores entre el género, porcentaje de grasa y número de dietas. Se discuten las implicaciones de los hallazgos, tanto para la comprensión del constructo, como para la intervención y promoción de la salud.
