“…For example, adolescent boys tend to desire muscularity in terms of their physical appearance, whereas among most girls thinness is perceived as the female body ideal [5,10]. However, body weight perception can change with age as people become conscious of their declining physical attraction [9,11]. Generally, in middle age there is relatively less importance placed on physical appearance of the body and there is more concern with one's selfesteem [11].…”

“…However, body weight perception can change with age as people become conscious of their declining physical attraction [9,11]. Generally, in middle age there is relatively less importance placed on physical appearance of the body and there is more concern with one's selfesteem [11]. For example, in a study of middle-aged Korean women the participants had a negative reaction to their realistic body, which was linked with stress and depression during menopause in women in their 50s [9,12].…”

“…With regard to research on men, middle-aged men who compared their appearance to other men tended to be highly concerned about how they looked, and body image disturbance regarding weight negatively affected social and sexual functioning in their interpersonal relationships [10]. Middle-aged men who had such concerns tended to try to hide their body and had low self-esteem [10,11]. Thus, previous studies that have included middle-aged men tended to emphasize the social aspects of body image related to their body weight [9][10][11].…”

Background: Increasing interest in appearance and the growing preference for a beautiful body can lead to physical and psychological problems due to an inappropriate body image perception. As such, there is a need to identify what factors may contribute to an inappropriate body image. The purpose of this study was to examine the presence of distorted body weight perception among middle-aged Koreans and identify gender differences and other factors that contribute to a distorted body image regarding body weight. Methods: Data on 8363 middle-aged adults (aged 45-64 years) from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed using complex samples analysis considering weight, stratification variables, and cluster variables. The difference between perceived body image regarding body weight and actual body mass index was used to assess distorted body weight perception. Socioeconomic status, health behaviors, daily energy consumption, and psychological status (depression and stress) were assessed for their relationship to distorted body weight perception. Results: Results showed that a distorted body image regarding body weight was more prevalent among middleaged men (45.3%) than women (25.7%). Age, income, perceived health status, and health behaviors were significantly associated with distorted body weight perception in middle-aged men, whereas psychological factors were associated with distorted body weight perception in middle-aged women. Conclusions: Further research on distorted body weight perception is needed to gain understanding of the gender differences between middle-aged men and women in Korea. Furthermore, to the results of the study can be used as a basis for developing various education, health mediation, and public health promotion interventions and programs to address body weight perception in middle-aged adults.

“…Participants Body mass index (BMI) average was 23.9 kg/m 2 (SD = 4.06 kg/m 2 ). Sample size is compatible with previous studies on visual perception in body image (e.g., Castellini et al, 2013;Forghieri et al, 2016;Bailey et al, 2017). All participants had normal or corrected-to-normal vision.…”

“…Esse construto é vastamente estudado a partir das dimensões perceptiva e atitudinal, que agregam diferentes aspectos referentes à percepção, satisfação, cognição, afeto e comportamento dos indivíduos quanto ao corpo [8][9][10] . Considerando essa amplitude de aspectos que compõem a imagem corporal, destaca-se o papel relevante que ela pode exercer no processo de cuidado à saúde mental dos indivíduos, portanto sua avaliação torna-se indispensável na população, visando rastrear aqueles com cognições e comportamentos disfuncionais, bem como identificar e tratar os casos de transtornos de imagem 10,11 . É importante relatar, ainda, que diferentes abordagens podem ser conduzidas para a avaliação da imagem corporal, contudo a utilização de instrumentos psicométricos tem sido uma prática rotineira apresentada nos estudos dessa área 8 .…”

RESUMO Objetivo: Conduzir uma discussão sobre as estratégias adotadas para avaliação da estrutura fatorial de instrumentos psicométricos utilizando como exemplo os modelos fatoriais do Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). Métodos: Foram avaliados sete modelos fatoriais diferentes do BSQ, que foram obtidos por meio de análise fatorial exploratória (AFE) e estão apresentados na literatura. A análise fatorial confirmatória desses modelos foi realizada para a amostra de estudo utilizando-se aos índices qui-quadrado pelos graus de liberdade (χ2/gl), Comparative Fit Index (CFI), Tucker-Lewis index (TLI), Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) e Weighted Root Mean Square Residual (WRMR). As validades convergente e discriminante foram avaliadas a partir da variância extraída média e do coeficiente de determinação entre os fatores do BSQ, respectivamente. A confiabilidade dos modelos foi avaliada a partir da confiabilidade composta e do coeficiente alfa de Cronbach. Resultados: Participaram 739 universitárias com média de idade de 20,4 (desvio-padrão = 2,4) anos. Todos os modelos apresentaram adequado ajustamento para a amostra de estudo, contudo a validade discriminante esteve comprometida neles. A confiabilidade dos modelos também foi adequada. Conclusão: Apesar de todos os modelos testados do BSQ apresentarem bons indicadores psicométricos, salienta-se que eles foram obtidos em amostras diferentes utilizando-se AFE e sem justificativa teórica plausível para a construção dos fatores, o que pode dificultar a escolha de um modelo para utilização em ambiente clínico. Assim, diante da importância de preservação do conceito teórico durante o desenvolvimento do instrumento, sugere-se cautela na utilização de modelos sem sustentação teórica.
