“…The possible responses for depressed mood and suicidal ideation were ‘yes’ or ‘no’. These measures were reported as predictors of psychological distress in previous studies [ 11 , 13 , 14 , 28 ].…”

“…For example, body weight misperception (i.e., discrepancy between individual perceptions of weight status and actual weight status based on clinical definitions of weight) [ 8 ] has been reported among individuals who are and are not affected by obesity and may be associated with various forms of psychological distress including stressed feelings, depressive mood, and suicidal ideation [ 8 – 10 ]. Recent studies with South Korean adults suggest that body weight misperception, over-perception (i.e., over-perceiving actual weight status) in particular, is associated with psychological distress including severe stress and depressed mood in women [ 11 – 13 ], and suicidal ideation in both genders [ 14 , 15 ].…”

BackgroundEmerging evidence suggests that body weight misperception may be associated with psychological distress among people in developed countries. Participating in physical activity (PA) may negate the association between weight misperception and psychological distress given the well-known benefits of PA on psychological health. This study examined the role of PA in associations between body weight misperception and psychological distress among young South Korean adults.MethodsData from individuals aged 20 to 39 years who participated in the Fifth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys 2010–2012 (N = 6055) was included in the logistic regressions.ResultsThe proportions of the respondents under- and over-perceiving their body weight were 66.9% and 0.8% among men and 16.3% and 15.6% among women respectively. A moderating effect of PA participation was observed on the relationship between body weight over-perception and depressed mood (Odds Ratio [OR] = 0.55; 95% Confidence Intervals [95% CI] = 0.34, 0.89). Among individuals who did not meet the recommended vigorous-intensity PA (≥ 20 min/session and ≥ 3 day/week), body weight over-perception was associated with depressed mood (OR = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.19, 2.46) compared to the accurate-perception group. However, no association was observed among those who met the recommended vigorous-intensity PA (OR = 1.52, 95% CI = 0.45, 5.22). Similar patterns were found among physically active versus inactive individuals (recommended walking not met: OR = 2.02, 95% CI = 1.29, 3.15; recommended walking met: OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 0.66, 2.49; muscular strengthening exercises for < 2 day/week: OR = 1.74, 95% CI = 1.21, 2.51; muscular strengthening exercises for ≥ 2 day/week: OR = 1.38, 95% CI = 0.37, 5.14). No relationship existed between body weight over-perception and depressed mood after adjusting for PA.ConclusionsParticipating in regular PA may buffer a potential negative impact of body weight over-perception on depressive mood.

Perceived overweight was associated with increased depression and suicidality in this systematic review and meta-analysis • Weight perception also explained the relationship between BMI and mental health • Results were consistent across multiple subgroup and sensitivity analyses • However, heterogeneity and the inclusion of only observational data limit the strength of conclusions • Results highlight the importance of the psychological experience of overweight in mental health

“…A significant proportion of healthy‐ and underweight people (WHO, ) —including a subgroup of individuals with anorexia nervosa —perceive themselves to be heavier than they are (Cornelissen, Bester, Cairns, Tovée, & Cornelissen, ; Martin et al, ; Shin & Nam, ). This body size and shape misperception (BSSM; the perceptual component of body image disturbance) may, in turn, be associated with distress in the form of body dissatisfaction (BD; the attitudinal component of body image disturbance; Lee, Seo, Shim, & Lee, ; Mond et al, ). It has been suggested that repeated exposure to idealised bodies, as portrayed in the popular media, may be conducive to the development of BD and BSSM (Agliata & Tantleff‐Dunn, ; Groesz, Levine, & Murnen, ; Rajagopalan & Shejwal, ; Stephen & Perera, , ), although the mechanisms underpinning this association are unclear.…”

Objective: Prolonged exposure to large/small bodies causes aftereffects in perceived body size.Outside the laboratory, individuals repeatedly exposed to small (large) bodies tend to over-(under-) estimate their size and exhibit increased (decreased) body dissatisfaction. Why, among individuals exposed to approximately equivalent distributions of body sizes, only some develop body size and shape misperception and/or body dissatisfaction is not yet fully understood.Method: We exposed 61 women to high and low adiposity bodies simultaneously, instructing half to attend to high, and half to low adiposity bodies.Results: Participants in the high adiposity attention condition's perception of "normal" body size significantly increased in adiposity, and vice versa. Discussion: This suggests that visual attention moderates body size aftereffects. Interventions encouraging visual attention to more realistic ranges of bodies may therefore reduce body misperception. No change in body dissatisfaction was found, suggesting that changes in the perceptual component (misperception) may not necessarily affect the attitudinal component (dissatisfaction) of body image distortion.
