Zusammenfassung: | Abstract Objectives: to evaluate self-perceived body image and body satisfaction of adolescents and their associated factors. Methods: across-sectional study carried out with 200 adolescents from a non-govern-mental organization of Campinas-SP. Self-perceived body image was assessed using a scale of silhouettes and body satisfaction by body areas. Association between sociodemographic and anthropometric data and body image and satisfaction were assessed by logistic regres-sion. Results: seventy percent of normal weight boys and 88% of girls wrongly perceived their nutritional status according to the objective standards. The prevalence of body dissatisfac-tion was 76.5%. Twenty-two percent of adolescents reported dissatisfaction with their body shape. Self-perceived body image was associated with nutritional status (OR= 0.25; CI95%=0.09-0.73), abdominal obesity (Waist/Height ratio- WHR) (OR=26.57; CI95%=3.98-177.18), and gender (OR=2.65; CI95%=1.16-6.05). Conclusions: we identified an important distortion and dissatisfaction with body shape. Girls, overweight/obese adolescents and those with abdominal obesity have more chance to this condition. These findings can subsidize actions that deal with the issue of acceptance of self-image, preventing more serious disorders that may directly affect the health of young-sters.
Resumo Objetivos: avaliar a imagem corporal autopercebida e a satisfação corporal de adoles-centes e seus fatores associados. Métodos: estudo transversal realizado com 200 adolescentes de uma organização não governamental de Campinas-SP. A imagem corporal autopercebida foi avaliada por meio de escala de silhuetas e a satisfação corporal por áreas do corpo. A associação entre dados sociodemográficos e antropométricos e imagem e satisfação corporal foi avaliada por regressão logística. Resultados: setenta por cento dos meninos com peso normal e 88% das meninas perce-beram erroneamente seu estado nutricional de acordo com os parâmetros objetivos. A prevalência de insatisfação corporal foi de 76,5%. Vinte e dois por cento dos adolescentes relataram insatisfação com a forma corporal. A autopercepção da imagem corporal foi asso-ciada ao estado nutricional (OR= 0,25; IC95%=0,09-0,73), obesidade abdominal (Relação cintura estatura- RCE) (OR=26,57; IC95%=3,98-177,18) e sexo (OR=2,65; IC95%=1,16-6,05). Conclusões: identificou-se uma importante distorção e insatisfação com a forma corporal. Meninas, adolescentes com sobrepeso / obesidade e aqueles com obe |
