“…In elderly individuals, the positive or negative view of the body extends beyond deeply rooted cultural values and involves issues related to functionality, health, and others, especially when the aging body is compared to younger bodies or to the recollection of one's own body during youth [12,13]. The body image is also distorted in old age, since society has a negative view of aging, associating aging with functional disability and incompetence; this view is stronger with regard to women, who are expected to look young in order to ensure their place in society [39].…”

“…In this context, it is important to redefine old age from a positive perspective, since it is a stage of life when maturity is achieved, in which it is possible to share living experiences acquired over the years and elaborate new purposes in life, to re-begin if necessary. Acceptance of the body changes that occur over the years and an ideal of beauty that is disassociated from what is recommended for younger people can improve negative images held in this age group [39].…”

The study aimed to assess the association between body image perception and (dis)satisfaction and sociodemographic and behavioral factors in the elderly, using multinomial logistic regression. Data were analyzed for 1686 women and 1499 men participating in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). Men with less schooling and women with lower per capita income showed higher odds of underestimating their body size. Former smokers of both sexes showed higher odds of overestimating their body size; lower schooling and lower per capita income decreased these odds. Increasing age, lower per capita income, and smoking increased the odds of dissatisfaction due to thinness in men, and married marital status decreased these odds. In women, low per capita income, weekly consumption of vegetables, and smoking increased the odds of such dissatisfaction. Factors that increased the odds of dissatisfaction due to excess weight in both sexes were primary or secondary schooling and former smoking. In women, low per capita income, weak physical activity, weekly consumption of vegetables, and excessive alcohol intake also increased the odds of such dissatisfaction. The results suggest that improved living conditions and the adoption of healthy behaviors can help reduce misperceived negative body image among elderly.

“…During this aging process, we experience deterioration or loss of physical, functional, mental, and social functions. Deterioration or loss of these functions can cause dissatisfaction with one's body image, as well as a decrease in overall self-esteem [11]. According to a previous study, it was known that dissatisfaction from subjective body shape perception in adolescents between the ages of 12 and 18 was significantly related to factors such as depression, anxiety, and self-esteem [12].…”

Background: The goal of this study was to confirm the relationship between subjective body shape perception and the depression screening tool Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) in the geriatric population. Methods: A total of 1,251 subjects were analyzed among adults aged 65 or older who performed the 2020 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The subjective body shape perception was divided into three groups (thin, normal, and obese). Depression screening tool PHQ-9 10 points were employed as a cut-off value. The association between subjective body shape perception and the risk of depression based on the PHQ-9 was first verified by a chi-square test, and then logistic regression analysis was performed along with items expected to influence the relationship.Results: There was a considerable difference between the depression risk and the normal groups in subjective body shape perception, which was classified as thin, normal, and obese. In the final model, the group who thought they were thin had an increased risk of depression compared with the normal group. Dyslipidemia, being female, and not owning a home have all been demonstrated to greatly raise the risk of depression. Conclusion:We verified that subjective body shape was related to the risk of depression through the PHQ-9.

“…In addition, a recent study showed that there was a significant correlation between body image and hopelessness among breast cancer survivors, and that those with a more negative body image had more severe hopelessness (Wu et al, 2021). For older adults, a poor body image in various areas, including mobility limitations, body shape, and appearance, may trigger feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness (da Rocha & Terra, 2013). Based on the above, we propose that body image could predict hopelessness in older adults.…”

The aim of the current study was to examine the association between body image and hopelessness as well as the roles of aging self‐stereotypes and marital status in this association in older adults. There were 821 older adults who participated in the present study and completed questionaries about body image, aging self‐stereotypes, hopelessness, demographic information (age and sex), marital status, and health status. The results showed that body image was associated with hopelessness in older adults, and aging self‐stereotypes mediated the link between body image and hopelessness. Moderated analyses further indicated that the path from body image to aging self‐stereotypes was stronger for single older adults than for those who were married. The results emphasize that older adults' dissatisfaction with their body image can enhance negative aging self‐stereotypes, which then result in more severe hopelessness. Marital relationships can alleviate the negative effect of body image on aging self‐stereotypes in older adults.
