“…This is consistent with previous studies that have found an association between these variables, such as that performed among Turkish adolescents by Ozmen in 2007 15 and by Almeida in Portugal in 2013. 9 This association might be mediated by bullying or chronic stress; the underlying mechanism is still unclear.…”

“…6,7 According to research conducted in various countries, including the United States, Jamaica, and Spain, distorted body image could be a risk factor for developing depressive symptoms. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Body image is defined as ''a concept that one has of their own shape, size, body mass and parts.'' 16 Misperceptions can have a great impact on adolescents 2 due to the extreme measures they might then take in pursuit of the ''ideal image.''…”

Objective: To determine the association between body image dissatisfaction (BID) and depressive symptoms in adolescents from a school in Lima, Peru. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed through a census of 875 high-school students, aged 13 to 17 years, from a school in Lima. Participants completed a survey containing the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Data regarding demographics, alcohol and tobacco use, self-esteem, and family history of depression were also obtained. To identify associated factors, Poisson regression with robust variance was used. Prevalence ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Results: Of the 875 adolescents, 55.8% were male. The mean age was 14.161.5 years. Depressive symptoms were observed in 19.9% of participants. An association between BID and depressive symptoms was found. Alcohol and tobacco use were also associated with the outcome of interest. Conclusions: Teens who had BID were 3.7 times more likely to report depressive symptoms. Additionally, those who used tobacco or alcohol were 1.5 and 1.4 times more likely to have depressive symptoms, respectively. Further studies targeting other populations and using longitudinal designs are recommended.

“…However, it was found that most of the subjects were from low or middle socio-economical status. In a study, it was seen that being male and being from higher socio-economical level were predictors of overweight based on BMI (28). Similarly the prevalence of overweight and obesity was found to be higher in boys than in girls in Swedish (29), Canadian (30), Taiwanese (31) and Greek (32) adolescents.…”

ÖZET Amaç: Birçok araştırma obezitesi olan çocuk ve ergenlerde psikopatolojinin daha sık ortaya çıktığını ortaya koymasına rağmen, psikopatolojinin doğası ve boyutu ile ilgili anlaşmazlıklar sürmektedir. Bu araştırma 9 ve 18 yaş arası obezitesi olan çocuk ve ergenlerde kendilik algısı ve psikiyatrik belirtileri araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Yöntemler: Çalışmanın örneklemini, Uludağ Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Pediatrik Endokrinoloji Bölümü polikliniğine başvuran 47 obezitesi olan çocuk ve ergen oluşturdu. Psikiyatrik değerlendirme; yarı-yapılandırılmış psikiyatrik görüşme, Piers-Harris Çocuklarda Öz-Kavramı Ölçeği, Çocuklar İçin Kovacs Depresyon Ölçeği, Durumluk-Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği ve Çok Yönlü Beden-Self İlişkisi Ölçeği ile yapıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 47 hasta (26 kız, 21 erkek) alındı. Ortalama yaş 13.1±2.63 tü (9-18). Durumluk anksiyete ortalama puanları daha obez olan grupta yüksekti (BKI>30; p<0,05), ancak cinsiyete ya da çocuk-ergen olmaya göre değişmedi (p>0.05). Sürekli anksiyete ve depresyon ortalama puanları ise obezite derecesi, cinsiyet ya da çocuk-ergen farkı gözetmedi (p>0.05). Patolojik düzeydeki depresyon, durumluk ve sürekli kaygı oranları obezite derecesi arttıkça, cinsiyete ve çocuk-ergen olmaya göre değişmedi (p>0.05). Kendilik algısı sonuçları daha obez (BKI>30; p<0.05) olanların ve ergenlerin (p<0.01) kendilerini 'daha popüler' gördüklerini gösterdi, kızlar akademik alanda daha pozitif bir kendilik algısına sahipti (p<0.01). Beden-self ilişkisi obezite derecesinin artmasıyla değişmedi (p>0.05), ancak kızlar (p<0.01) ve ergenler (p<0.05) görünüşleriyle daha fazla ilgiliydi, ek olarak kızlar (p<0.05) sağlık durumlarıyla daha fazla ilgiliydi. Sonuç: Sonuçlar obezite ile psikopatoloji (depresyon, davranış problemleri, düşük öz-saygı) arasında yüksek ilişki gösteren önceki araştırmalarla uyumlu değildi. Anahtar kelimeler: Obezite; Kendilik algısı; Depresyon; Anksiyete; Beden-self ilişkisi ABSTRACT Objectıve: Although several studies have documented the existence of psychopathology in obese children and adolescents, disagreement remains regarding the extent and nature of this psychopathology. This study aimed to investigate self perception and psychiatric symptoms in obese children and adolescents aged between 9 and 18 years old. Methods: The study sample consisted of 47 patients admitted to the pediatric endocrinology outpatient clinic at Uludag University School of Medicine. Psychological assessment was performed using a semi-structured psychiatric interview, The Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale, Kovacs Depression Scale for Children, State-Trait Anxiety Scale, and Multi-Dimensional Body-Self Relations Questionaire. Results: Fortyseven patients (26 girls and 21 boys) were enrolled in the study. Mean age was 13.1±2.63 years (9-18 years). Mean results showed that state anxiety was higher in the more obese (BMI>30; p<0.05) but did not differ with sex or being a child or adolescent (p>0.05); and that trait anxiety and depression did not differ for degree of obesity, sex or being a child or ...

“…However, some of researches have shown that increased body weight is not associated with poor self-esteem and depression (Ozmen et al, 2007), but that thinness as a physical ideal, poor self-esteem and self-perception of their own bodies have significantly higher impact on dissatisfaction with appearance, then real increased physical weight (Canpolat et al, 2005). In a meta-analysis of the relationship between weight and self-esteem, Miller & Downey (1999) reported that even in children, perceived size was a better predictor of selfesteem than was actual body weight.…”

SUMMARY:The aims of this study were to investigate the association of body mass index with different dimensions of selfperception and the level of self-esteem among female students of first and second year at the University of Tuzla. The study was conducted on a sample of 120 female students of the first and second year at the University of Tuzla. The study used the following instruments: Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (ROSF), Questionnaire PD/form A and Body Mass Index calculation. Results indicate that self-esteem and self-worth, and a sense of comfort and discomfort affect the experience of body perception unrelated to body mass index. It is also determined which variables are significant predictors of the experience of body perception and the level of self-esteem in the examined sample. The obtained results indicate a significant correlation between self-perception and sense of well-being related to body image on self-esteem among students in the study sample, which may not be related to actual body appearance in terms of reduced or increased body weight.
