“…Our data suggest that ado lescents tend to show the greatest perceptive accuracy towards their own body, while the greatest perceptive distortion occurs among older subjects. Adolescence is the period of life most studied in relation to body image, with rapid and profound physical changes affecting the individual relationship to his/her body [24][25][26][27][28]. Furthermore, studies on possi ble body image changes in eating disorders have been carried out on adolescents or young adults.…”

The relationships between age and both body size estimation and body dissatisfaction were assessed by Distorting Television Image Method (DTIM) and Body Cathexis Scale (BCS) in a sample of 96 female subjects of ages ranging from 7 to 65 years. We found that there were no significant body distortion differences between different age ranges, although the most accurate perception seemed to occur during adolescence. As far as DTIM assessment of body dissatisfaction was concerned, adolescents showed no significantly greater aesthetic preoccupation than subjects of other age groups. On the other hand, using BCS, body dissatisfaction appeared to increase proportionally with age. The low, although significant, correlations between these two techniques of measuring body dissatisfaction suggest that, in addition to evaluating aesthetic features, BCS also assesses the degree of satisfaction with functional body aspects which are exposed to unavoidable decline with ageing.

“…The effect that dentofacial deformities have on self-esteem and self-image for patients has been studied by numerous researchers who have found that the reaction of other people to an individual with a facial deformity has a significant effect on that individual's self-image (Schonfeld, 1966;Macgregor, 1970;Edgerton and Knorr, 1971;Macgregor,1971).…”

Objectives:To determine the validity of 3dMD Vultus in predicting soft tissue morphology following orthognathic surgery. Methods:Thirteen patients with a skeletal discrepancy that required surgical correction limited to a Le Fort I surgical advancement osteotomy were included within the study. These patients had previously undergone a CBCT scan immediately before surgery (T1) and 6 months after surgery (T2).To permit validation, hard and soft tissues were linked for each time point and the hard tissues superimposed on the cranial vault and base. Using 3dMD Vultus virtual surgery was carried out to position the mandible and maxilla at T1 to the post-surgical position at T2. The resulting 3D soft tissue prediction mesh was then compared to the actual soft tissue mesh at T2 by segmenting both meshes at distinct anatomically areas of the face. The absolute distance between meshes for each region was then calculated using a custom developed computer program.

“…Current psychiatric usage has (perhaps too loosely) equated the term body image with phrases such as â€˜¿ self system', â€˜¿ self concept', â€˜¿ ego identity', etc. (8). The importance of the body image as a postural or spatial model, a â€˜¿ base of operations' from which a person extends himself into space, with its implications for movement and motor activity, is often overlooked but vividly evident in many endeavours,particularly aviation.…”

The Body Image of the Aviator

The concept of the ‘body image’ rests on a broad foundation of neurological and psychological observations. Neurological observations of phantom limbs, agnosias, apraxias, and similar phenomena led to an initial formulation of the body image as a postural, spatial image of the body (2, 6). Schilder greatly expanded the concept by delineating the importance of libidinal (instinctual) and sociological factors in the make-up of the body image (7). Current psychiatric usage has (perhaps too loosely) equated the term body image with phrases such as 'self system’, 'self concept’, ‘ego identity’, etc. (8). The importance of the body image as a postural or spatial model, a ‘base of operations' from which a person extends himself into space, with its implications for movement and motor activity, is often overlooked but vividly evident in many endeavours, particularly aviation.
