Material y Métodos Se evaluaron 4 grupos en función del género y los rangos de edad. Se registraron las variables morfológicas y funcionales no invasivas, y se procesó la identificación de la imagen corporal, por medio de un conjunto de siluetas numeradas. Para analizar los datos, se utilizó estadística descriptiva e inferencial. Resultados. Se encontraron factores de riesgo entre los géneros y los rangos de edad de los grupos estudiados. Se constató la diferencia entre los géneros, con respecto a la imagen corporal, y también entre dos grupos de un mismo género; deseando los voluntarios una reducción de sus siluetas. Conclusiones. Los factores de riesgo están asociados a la imagen corporal en ambos géneros del estudio.Palabras Clave: Percepción de forma, esfuerzo físico, salud pública, (fuente: DeCS, BIREME).
