OBJECTIVE:To examine the prevalence of body dissatisfaction and associated factors in 8-to 11-year-old schoolchildren. METHODS:A cross-sectional study including children aged 8-to 11-years enrolled in public and private schools in Porto Alegre, Southern Brazil, was carried out from August to December, 2001. A total of 901 subjects were selected through cluster sampling. Participants answered a questionnaire aimed at measuring body dissatisfaction and self-esteem and questions about family and social pressures on weight change. Height and weight were measured. The relationship between body dissatisfaction and the variables studied was measured by logistic regression. RESULTS:The prevalence of body dissatisfaction was 82%. Fifty-five percent of the girls wanted a thinner body size, and 28% desired a larger one; the estimates for the boys were 43% and 38%, respectively. Children with the lowest self-esteem (OR=1.80; 95% CI: 1.13-2.89) and who thought their parents (OR=6.10; 95% CI: 2.95-12.60) and friends (OR=1.81; 95% CI: 1.02-3.20) expected them to be thinner showed a higher chance of presenting body dissatisfaction. CONCLUSIONS:Body dissatisfaction was highly prevalent among the evaluated schoolchildren, especially in those with lower self-esteem and who thought their parents and friends expected them to be thinner. KEYWORDS:Child. Body image. Self-concept. Cross-sectional studies. RESUMOOBJETIVO: Examinar a prevalência de insatisfação corporal e fatores associados em escolares entre oito e 11 anos. MÉTODOS:Estudo transversal realizado com escolares entre oito e 11 anos da rede pública e privada de Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, entre agosto e dezembro de 2001. Um total de 901 crianças, selecionadas por conglomerados, responderam verbalmente a questionário sobre insatisfação corporal e a auto-estima, pressão familiar e social relacionadas à mudança de peso. Altura e peso foram aferidos. A associação entre insatisfação corporal e as variaveis estudadas foi medida por meio de regressão logistica. CONCLUSÕES:Insatisfação corporal foi altamente prevalente nos escolares avaliados, especialmente naqueles com auto-estima mais baixa e que pensavam que seus pais e amigos esperavam que eles fossem mais magros.

In the present study a sample of 300 6-9 year-old girls completed individual interviews assessing exposure to sexualized media, internalization of sexualized messages (measured via preference for sexualized clothing), and body image attitudes (body esteem, body dissatisfaction). Exposure to sexualized media was found to be correlated with internalization of sexualization messages, itself correlated with negative body image. The findings provide preliminary evidence that sexualized messages appear to be internalized by very young girls which, in turn, has negative implications for how they feel about their bodies.

A insatisfação corporal associa-se a transtornos alimentares, dificuldades de relacionamento interpessoal e ideação suicida. Objetivou-se estimar a prevalência de insatisfação corporal, e verificar sua associação com variáveis infantis e maternas de escolares do 4º e 5º ano de escolas municipais de Itajaí, Santa Catarina. Sorteou-se 737 escolares, de 22 escolas urbanas e rurais. A coleta de dados compreendeu a coleta de dados antropométricos, aplicação de questionários para a criança e para seu responsável. A insatisfação corporal foi identificada, pela diferença entre a percepção da silhueta atual e àquela desejada pelos escolares. Calcularam-se as Razões de Prevalência (RP) e Intervalos de Confiança de 95% (IC 95%). A taxa de resposta foi 81,7% (n = 602). A prevalência de insatisfação corporal foi de 76,9%. Escolares acima do peso, e aqueles com excesso de gordura abdominal apresentaram prevalência 21% e 30%, superiores de insatisfação corporal. Filhos de pais com excesso de peso apresentaram prevalência 12% maior. Tentativas de emagrecer ou engordar foi 23% e 21% maior entre as crianças insatisfeitas com o peso. Após análise ajustada a prevalência foi menor entre as meninas (RP 0,9 IC95% 0,8;1,0) e maior entre crianças com excesso de gordura abdominal e que realizaram tentativas de perder ou ganhar peso (RP 1,2 IC95% 1,1; 1,4). Osresultados indicaram elevada prevalência de insatisfação corporal, principalmente entre os meninos. Aproximadamente metade dos escolares desejou peso inferior, contudo, entre os meninos o desejo de ganhar peso foi maior. A gordura na região abdominal associou-se fortemente à maior prevalência de insatisfação corporal.
