“…The body perceptions reported by the participants of the present study are in line with other findings on individuals with overweight in our nation [33][34][35][36]. Compared with men, women reported significantly more negative body self-perceptions, i.e., bodies containing higher fat mass, and a slimmer ideal appearance, as well as lower body satisfaction [34][35][36]. Compared with participants with overweight, participants with obesity reported lower body satisfaction, a significantly more negative PBI and an IBI that did not differ considerably from their own body, i.e., they chose overweight bodies [34][35][36].…”

Although previous evidence suggests that happiness is lower among individuals with obesity, research on the correlates of subjective well-being (SWB) is warranted to increase our knowledge. We aim to explore excess weight (i.e., measured and self-reported body mass index (BMI)), body image and satisfaction, self-stigma, positivity, and happiness among Spanish adults with overweight or obesity. We further aim to investigate the predictors of SWB in this sample. A convenience sample of 100 individuals with excess weight completed self-reports on the study variables and were weighed and their height measured. On average, the participants reported body perceptions revealing minor excessive weight, moderate body satisfaction, low-to-moderate weight-related stigma, and elevated positivity and happiness. BMI and gender/sex independently affected these variables, but there were no significant interaction effects. Furthermore, individuals with overweight or obesity with higher body satisfaction and elevated positivity were more likely to report being happy, independent of their age, gender/sex, weight, and weight-related stigma. Mediation effects were found for body satisfaction and positivity in the relationship between weight and happiness. Moreover, positive orientation suppressed the pervasive influence of stigma on SWB. Our findings confirm the key role of body image dimensions and weight-related stigma for happiness and add support to the relevance of positivity for overall well-being of individuals with excess weight. These results may inform obesity management actions focused on inclusive aesthetic models, combating social stigmatization and enhancing positivity for a flourishing and fulfilling life.

“…Men and women did not differ in terms of social and normative body perceptions. Others have also found lower body satisfaction among women with excess weight (Bibiloni et al, 2017;Varela et al, 2019). Other researchers did not establish sex-gender differences in current body perceptions, but women selected thinner figures as body ideals whereas men chose heavier figures, and approx.…”

“…Although the separate influence of BMI and sex-gender on body image and satisfaction has been deeply explored, we were unable to find interaction analyses in Spanish samples with overweight and obesity. In the study by Varela et al (2019), the PBI-IBI discrepancy was of 1.8 points in a 0-8 discrepancy scale among the participants with excess weight, twice the value found in the normal weight condition; as we found, no differences were established when males (1.5 points) and females (2 points) were compared in the PBI-IBI discrepancy, but women with overweight demonstrated poorer body perceptions and satisfaction compared to men and participants with normal weight. Rodríguez-Rodríguez et al (2009) did not find either differences between males and females for the discrepancy between healthy and aesthetic ideal and current weight, but they mixed the samples of normal and excessive weight and this could be neglecting individual divergences.…”

“…Besides, the desire of changing weight and body appearance was assessed by the discrepancy PBI-IBI (i.e., negative difference values indicate a desire of a slimmer and/or more muscular body; positive difference values indicate a desire of a heavier and/or less muscular body; 0 values indicate the desire of maintaining the same body and appearance). This discrepancy has been widely used as an indicator of body satisfaction (Bibiloni et al, 2017;Ibáñez-Zamacona et al, 2020;Varela et al, 2019). Body dissatisfaction was also assessed by a face-valid single item ("How satisfied are you with your current body weight and bodily appearance?…”

Considering BMI, Body Image and Desired Weight Change for Suitable Obesity Management Options

et al. 2020

With prevalence of obesity increasing worldwide, understanding body image in individuals with excessive weight is important, as unawareness of weight excess can prevent weight loss attempts. We explored the associations among measured and self-reported body mass index (BMI), body image and body satisfaction among Spanish females and males with overweight or obesity, with a special focus in discriminating individuals who are and are not satisfied with their body and wish or not to change their appearance. Just unifying all individuals with excessive weight may lead to uncover or deny different realities and to develop unfitted clinical management options. Updating findings for the Spanish population, we found that most participants correctly estimated their weight, but 3 in 10 underestimated it. Similarly, their body images corresponded to adults with overweight or obesity who desired to be thinner, but in average they reported a perceived body just slightly overweight and a moderate satisfaction with their body. Complementing the existing evidence, BMI and sex-gender interacted for influencing body weight estimation and desired weight change. In addition, three different subgroups were found for desired change of weight and size, depending on their BMI and body satisfaction. Discovering and considering different subjective realities and corporeal experiences among individuals with weight excess will help professionals to develop appropriate therapeutic interventions. Thus, the personal experiences that individuals have with obesity, instead of obesity itself, should be considered for disentangling management efforts.

This study explored intraindividual multidimensional profiles integrating psychosocial factors, namely, body image and satisfaction, weight-related self-stigma, positivity, and happiness, and behavioural-lifestyle factors, namely, adherence to a healthy diet, among Spanish adults with overweight or obesity. We further aimed to investigate the association of excess weight (i.e., measured body mass index, BMI) with the abovementioned multidimensional configurations. A convenience sample of adult individuals with excessive weight completed self-reports regarding the study variables, and their weight and height were measured. With a perspective centred on the individual, a cluster analysis established three distinct intraindividual psychosocial and diet-related profiles: a group of healthy individuals with excess weight; a group of individuals who were negatively affected by their excessive weight and showed the most distressed profile; and a group of dysfunctional individuals who seemed to be excessively unrealistic and optimistic regarding their excessive weight and unhealthy lifestyles. Furthermore, individuals in the affected cluster had higher obesity. The results showed that there are specific psychosocial and lifestyle profiles in the adult population with excess weight and that there are relationships among psychological, behavioural, and body-composition factors. For clinical application purposes, it is important to account for the heterogeneity within individuals who are obese.
