“…The prevalence of overweight observed in more than half of the teachers is a relevant nutritional diagnosis for the health of this category of workers, since this condition represents a serious public health issue. These results are similar to those of other studies carried out with teachers before the pandemic in relation to excess body weight and also with the Brazilian population in general [16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

Objective To estimate the prevalence of overweight among teachers in Minas Gerais during the Covid-19 pandemic and to review relevant gender associated factors. Methods Cross-sectional and analytical study, websurvey type, carried out with 15,641 teachers of public Basic Education in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Data collection took place from August to September 2020 with the use of a digital form. The dependent variable was overweight, calculated by the body mass index using the teachers’ self-reported weight and height. Poisson regression was used, with robust variance. Results Among the participating teachers, 52.4% were overweight. When stratified by gender, 51.1% women and 58.2% men were considered overweight, with a significant difference between them (p<0.001). There was a higher prevalence of overweight among women in the age group of 30 to 59 years (PR=1.39) and in women 60 years or older (PR=1.45) living in the metropolitan region of the state (PR=1.06) who had children (PR=1.19), who were not exercising (PR=1.09) and with a worse dietary pattern during the pandemic (PR=1.12), much afraid of Covid-19 (PR=1.04) and with anxiety and/or depression during the pandemic (PR=1.14). Among men, there was a higher prevalence of overweight among those individuals aged 30 to 59 years (PR=1.19), who lived with a spouse (PR=1.15) working more than 40 hours per week (PR=1.12) and those with the worst dietary pattern during the pandemic (PR=1.10). Conclusion The results showed a 52.4% prevalence of overweight teachers and different associated factors between the genders.

“…Many women exercise in gyms, seeking improvements in body shape, and gyms are places that commonly establish a culture of body worship and fast results to achieve the desired body, negatively influencing BI [ 26 ]. Nevertheless, studies have shown that practicing physical activity on a regular basis was associated with better BI and life quality [ 27 , 28 ].…”

Amateur ballet practicing, body image and eating behaviors: a comparative study of classical ballet dancers, gym users and sedentary women

et al. 2021

Background Ballet dancers are a risk group for body image (BI) distortion, dissatisfaction and eating disorders (ED), but few studies have investigated these aspects in amateur adult practitioners. This study aimed to evaluate if amateur female adult classical ballet dancers presented different BI and behaviors for ED than gym users and sedentary women. Methods This is a cross-sectional study where classical ballet dancers (n = 19) were compared to gym users (n = 19) and sedentary women (n = 19). Body mass index (BMI) was assessed, and a figure rating scale was applied to assess BI distortion/dissatisfaction. The body shape questionnaire (BSQ) was used to measure BI concern. The eating attitudes test (EAT-26) and the bulimic investigatory test, Edinburgh (BITE) were used for behaviors toward anorexia and bulimia. Results BMI was significantly lower in ballet dancers than gym users and sedentary women (F, p = .04). BI distortion did not differ among the studied groups. BI dissatisfaction was lower (X2, p = .041) in ballet dancers (75.0%) and gym users (70.6%) compared to sedentary women (100%). Correspondence analysis showed ballet dancers were mostly not concerned with BI, which was not observed among the other groups. The EAT-26 did not differ between the studied groups. The BITE score was lower (Tukey’s post hoc test, p = .005) in the ballet dancers [mean 5.3 (5.6)] compared to the sedentary women [mean 10.9 (4.8)]. Conclusions Data suggest that amateur classical ballet practicing is associated to better BI and fewer behaviors for ED in the studied population. The lower BMI in ballet dancers might explain these findings, and further studies should explore these associations.

“…O envelhecimento culmina em algumas alterações no corpo dos idosos, o que interfere na forma como eles o percebem, havendo prevalência de insatisfação da imagem corporal nas mulheres, principalmente idosas. 1 Nesse sentido, a imagem corporal é definida pela sensação que se tem em relação ao seu próprio tamanho, aparência, forma e silhueta independentemente da aparência real 2, constituindo uma combinação complexa que engloba aspectos motores, cognitivos, ambientais e socioculturais. 3 Além disso, é um reflexo de emoções e desejos em relação ao corpo.…”

Este estudo tem como objetivo investigar se há associação entre a imagem corporal, autoestima, percepção acerca do envelhecimento, equilíbrio postural e força de preensão palmar em idosas após a prática de Pilates na Água. Estudo descritivo, quasi-experimental, com amostra composta por idosas sedentárias com cognitivo preservado e independentes funcionais. Utilizou-se os instrumentos Body Appreciation Scale (BAS), Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg, Aging Perceptions Questionnaire (APQ), TUG (Timed up and go) e o dinamômetro manual. O protocolo de PA foi dividido em aquecimento, fortalecimento em geral e alongamentos. A análise estatística se deu pelo coeficiente de correlação de Pearson e teste de correlação de Spearman e a intensidade foi classificada pelo critério de Malina. Participaram deste estudo 33 idosas (71,5±5,48 anos), com sobrepeso (27,02±4,42) e boa imagem corporal, autoestima e percepção sobre o envelhecimento. Ainda, apresentaram baixo risco de quedas e baixa força de preensão palmar. As idosas apresentaram, após o protocolo de exercícios de Pilates na Água, associação moderada entre imagem corporal e percepção sobre o envelhecimento no que diz respeito às crenças positivas sobre como lidar com o envelhecimento. Ainda, observou-se uma associação alta entre o equilíbrio postural e a força de preensão manual. Conclui-se que esses dados são importantes pois se deve direcionar meios para proporcionar um envelhecimento saudável e qualidade de vida as idosas.
