“…However, when analyzing Table 5, there is 65.25% who have the perception of having a BMI corresponding to overweight and obesity grade I, II, and III, and only 21.98% have a perception corresponding to the normal weight category, although at the compared to the actual BMI, most students fall into that category. These data are convergent with the results found in a study carried out with students of the Nutrition and Metabolism course at the Ribeirão Preto Medical School (USP) in which, although 100% of the students are within normal weight, the perceived BMI is classified as overweight [19].…”

Introduction: The concept of body image is defined as the subjective image about the forms and characteristics of the body itself, which integrates physical, mental, and emotional levels about this perception. Excessive concern with weight and body shape and the divinization of exaggerated thinness can lead to eating disorders, which are characterized as psychiatric diseases defined by changes in eating behavior, which mainly affects women, being a source of physical and psychological damage. One of the most common disorders is anorexia nervosa (AN). Objective: To analyze the body perception and anorexic behavior of students at a medical school in the interior of São Paulo. Methods: This is an observational, qualitative study to assess the body perception and anorexic behavior of university students at a medical school in the city of Catanduva-SP. The sample consisted of 141 students. To assess the perception of body image, the Kakeshita silhouette scale, and a visual analog scale were used. For the evaluation of the subjective component of the body image, a virtual questionnaire was applied by Google Forms on the evaluated components. The assessment of nutritional status considered the classification of the body mass index and the EAT-26 test. For statistical analysis, the Wilcoxon non-parametric test was used. Results: The students had an average age of 21.34 years ± 2.2 and an average height of 1.64 meters. The average of the real Body Mass Index (BMI) was 22.08 Kg/m², the perception of BMI was 26.40 Kg/m² and the desired BMI was 22.93 Kg/m², the last two being different statistically from the first. As for EAT-26, 73 students obtained a score greater than or equal to 21, which is considered a risky behavior for the development of AN. Conclusion: Most students have an altered perception of their body image since the perception of BMI is higher than the real BMI. In addition, it was noted, from the positive EAT-26, the existence of a high-risk behavior index for anorexia nervosa in the women in the sample. Thus, it is necessary to investigate the causes of the divergence between reality and looking at oneself in order to prevent such changes from becoming eating disorders.

“…Miranda et al (2014) found that dissatisfaction with their body is more common in adolescents with excessive body weight. In contrast, Lopes et al (2017), while conducting the survey among students in Brazil, showed no influence of nutritional status on the sense of attractiveness. Coqueiro et al (2008) found that dissatisfaction with one's own body is correlated with the degree of fatness and not BMI value.…”

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of weight status on body perception and satisfaction, occurrence of Anorexia Readiness Syndrome (ARS), and dietary behaviors in adolescent girls. The study was conducted among 516 girls aged 14 to 16 living in Szczecin (Poland). The ARS Diagnosis Questionnaire designed by Ziółkowska and the author’s own questionnaire about self-perception of body were used, and anthropometric assessment was performed. The weight status significantly affected weight status perception, body satisfaction, and dietary behaviors. The girls with a body mass index (BMI) > 50th percentile more often were dissatisfied with their bodies and more often showed at least a medium ARS level. The girls with a BMI ≤ 50th percentile more often overestimated their body weight, and transferred the feeling of being unattractive to their faces. Results of this study demonstrate the importance of education for adolescent girls to help realistically assess body size and promote healthy bodies and eating behaviors, regardless of the weight status.

“…No entanto, observaram-se percentuais consideráveis de inadequações de IMC, principalmente, o sobrepeso (27,63%), tanto em ingressantes quanto em concluintes. Ao contrário do que foi visto por Paiva et al (2017) que avaliou 90 estudantes do sexo feminino no início e no final do curso de Nutrição e notaram maior prevalência de inadequação por baixo peso.…”
