“…The body of studies investigating the effects of media image on genders is rapidly increasing (9)(10)(11). In addition to exposure to the ideal media image, sociocultural pressure, family, and the application of diets containing restricted energy for losing weight, and the resulting pressure to be thin are important risk factors for increasing body dissatisfaction (10,12,13).…”

This study was conducted to determine the media image and its impact on body image and nutrition status of 100 professional female volleyball players aged between 18-30 in teams affiliated to the Turkish Volleyball Federation. Their dietary habits and use of food supplement products were recorded with a questionnaire prepared by the researcher and administered face-to-face. Anthropometric measurements taken, body mass indexes (BMI) calculated, body compositions determined with bioelectric impedance analysis, and 24-hour retrospective nutrient consumption records were taken. The “Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Scale” (SATAQ-3) was used in order to evaluate the media image of women volleyball players. The (PSPP) and “Body Parts and Properties Satisfaction Scale” were used for determining their level of satisfaction with their own appearance. The average age of this sample of female volleyball players was 24.3±3.55 years. Their body mass index (BMI) was 20.7±1.48 kg/m2 on average. A statistically significant negative relationship was found between “feeling pressure from the media” (a sub-dimension of the SATAQ-3), and “body attractiveness” a sub-dimension of the PSPP. Feelings of body attractiveness decreased as media pressure increased (p<0.05). A statistically significant negative relationship was found between trying to look like the celebrities in the media and “sports talent and body attractiveness” (p<0.05). Participants felt their bodies were less attractive as compared with celebrities (p<0.05). No significant relationship was found between the sub-dimensions of the SATAQ-3and the “Body Parts and Properties Satisfaction Scale” (p>0.05). We conclude that media image can be an important risk factor for increased body dissatisfaction, impaired body perception, and the formation of a negative body image in female Turkish volleyball players.

The study aimed to investigate the relationship between smoking and BMI, from the perspective of the roles of alcohol drinking and dietary factors in a rural population. We analysed cross-sectional data from 10,837 middle-aged and elderly Chinese rural adults who completed a questionnaire that included questions on demographic characteristics, dietary intake, and detailed smoking and drinking status. Results showed that current smokers had lower BMI and consumed foods less frequently (except coriander, onion, garlic, hawthorn and fermented bean curd) than non-smokers. The relationship between smoking amount and the risk of overweight or obesity was U-shaped, and the trends were also similar by stratum of baseline age groups (all p for interaction < 0.001). Heavy smokers tended to have drinking habits, which was associated with increased BMI (all p for trend < 0.001). Additionally, despite the lower risk of overweight or obesity for current smokers, normal weight individuals were found to have the minimum smoking amount. In conclusion, smoking may cause suppression of appetite but smokers tend to have other unhealthy habits relating to increased BMI. Dietary factors and alcohol use play important roles in the U-shaped relationship between smoking behaviours and BMI in the middle-aged and elderly Chinese rural population.
