Weight Gain Since Infancy and Prepubertal Body Dissatisfaction

Abstract

Objective: To investigate whether body dissatisfaction at prepuberty is associated with preceding changes in relative weight since infancy.

Predictors of weight variation and weight gain in peri- and post-menopausal women

“…This expectation can promote an attentional bias towards shape and weight-related changes, which in turn can lead to body dissatisfaction (Smith and Rieger, 2006). In addition, as stated before, body dissatisfaction at a young age can predict a subsequent weight increase rate (Anglé et al, 2005). This study emphasizes this outcome, that is, body shape concerns significantly predicted weight gain in a different developmental phase: midlife.…”

“…Prior body dissatisfaction has been identified as a robust predictor of the weight gain rate in the years following preadolescence (Anglé et al, 2005). However, these types of concerns have not been explored in menopausal women.…”

Body Weight Concern and Belief among Adolescent Egyptian Girls

“…The abnormally high ranges of BMI are accompanied with unsatisfaction about oneself body image [ 9 ], the same thing with swings of weight [ 10 ] especially among females [ 11 ]. Body image unsatisfaction is mostly encountered in the period of adolescence [ 12 ].…”
