“…Although the use of the body shape figures is controversial among researchers, whether due to the subtle difference between figures, to the use of the same shape to evaluate different biotypes, or to the use of different materials and ways to present the scale, the use of this scale, which has been validated in Brazil [39], was considered adequate due to its practicality, rapid application, and good correlation with BMI [18,40]. Two recent reviews highlight the positive aspects of the figure scale [41,42]. …”

BackgroundThe goal of this study was to identify the effect of the change in body mass index (BMI) from childhood to adulthood on body image satisfaction at 23 years of age in members of the 1982 Pelotas Birth Cohort in Pelotas, RS, Brazil.MethodsThe study used data from the 1986 and 2004–5 follow-up studies. Body shape satisfaction was evaluated using the Stunkard scale. Body shape dissatisfaction was defined as the difference between the figures chosen for the current and ideal body size. BMI z-score changes were calculated as the difference between z-score values at 4 and 23 years of age, using the population internal z-score as standard. The analysis was stratified by sex, and multinomial logistic regression was used in crude and adjusted analyses.ResultsA total of 1963 men and 1739 women were analyzed. The mean age of the participants in 2004–5 was 22.7 years. Of the participants exhibiting increased BMI z-scores, 17% perceived themselves as thinner than ideal, whereas 48% perceived themselves as fatter than ideal. The prevalence of dissatisfaction was higher in women because they perceived themselves as fatter than ideal on the three categories of z-score change (≥ + 0.5 sd; −0.49 to + 0.49 sd and ≤ −0.5 sd); 81% of women exhibiting an increased BMI z-score reported dissatisfaction. The analysis adjusted for confounding factors revealed that women with increased BMI z-scores were less prone to feel thinner than ideal. Additionally, the increased risk of dissatisfaction due to perceiving oneself as fatter than ideal was similar between men and women (RRR = 3.52 95% CI: 2.17 to 4.56 and RRR = 4.08 95% CI: 3.00 to 5.56, respectively) using −0.49 to +0.49 sd as the reference category.ConclusionsIndividuals exhibiting increased BMI z-scores between 4 and 23 years of age reported higher risks of body dissatisfaction at 23 years of age. This finding is important because body dissatisfaction can cause psychological, social, self-esteem problems, and well-being.

“…In this study, it was possible to verify that almost half of publicschool adolescents in a municipality from the North of Minas Gerais showed body image dissatisfaction. A systematic literature review on body image of adolescents focused on the use of a silhouette scale showed that the prevalence of dissatisfactions with body image varied from 32.2% to 83%, with a great heterogeneity among the studies (10) .

“…An assessment of body dissatisfaction can be performed by the scale of silhouettes, which, in recent years, is one of the most used techniques in populational studies, due to its practicality. The instrument consists in drawings (silhouettes) of human figures and offers information regarding body image perception (10) . The initial approach is fundamental for forwarding the individual to a specialized health service, which will allow early diagnosis and, consequently, the prognosis for adolescents (9,11) .…”

Objective: To assess body image dissatisfaction among adolescents from Northern Minas Gerais. Method: This is a cross-sectional study with adolescents of both sexes, enrolled in the sixth to ninth year in the municipal public education network. A questionnaire was used, composed of sociodemographic and body image variables, which was obtained through a scale of silhouette figures. The anthropometric measurements of weight and height were performed to estimate body mass index. The correlation between the classification of the body mass index and the body image of adolescents was estimated through weighted Kappa. Results: A total of 535 adolescents participated, and 24.5% had different classifications between the real and ideal body image. The Kappa index for the classification of body image was 0.51, 0.58 and 0.32 for the total of adolescents, girls and boys, respectively. Conclusion: Public school adolescents are dissatisfied with their self-body image.

Imagem corporal em idosos do Brasil: uma revisão sistemática

A insatisfação com a imagem corporal tem sido alvo de muitos estudos conduzidos no Brasil, porém, em relação aos idosos a disponibilidade de estudos parece limitada. Esse estudo objetivou sintetizar as evidências disponíveis na literatura acerca dos estudos sobre a imagem corporal de idosos brasileiros. Para isso, foram conduzidas buscas sistemáticas nas bases de dados Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO). Foram adotados os critérios de inclusão: artigos científicos publicados nos últimos 10 anos (2008 a 2018), com amostras cujos idosos possuíam 60 anos ou mais. A busca inicial resultou em 141 manuscritos e ao final da revisão 11 artigos foram incluídos. Observou-se que os estudos conduzidos até o presente momento provêm informações apenas de idosos das regiões Sul, Sudeste e Nordeste. O tamanho das amostras variou de oito a 806 idosos, sendo a insatisfação com a imagem corporal avaliada, predominantemente, por meio de escalas de silhuetas demostrando prevalências elevadas de insatisfação. Diante da endogenia observada nos achados, mais estudos são necessários no Brasil, sobretudo, com amostras maiores e que envolvam idosos das regiões Centro-Oeste e Norte.
