The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of body image dissatisfaction and associated factors in adolescents during the Covid-19 pandemic. This is an analytical, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, carried out with 287 adolescents aged between 11 and 17 years. Body image perception was assessed using the Silhouette Scale, validated for Brazilian adolescents of both sexes. Sociodemographic and behavioral factors were also evaluated. The association of body image dissatisfaction with independent variables was verified through bivariate analysis followed by Poisson regression. A prevalence of 65.0% of students dissatisfied with their body image was observed, and there was a significant association of students dissatisfied with their body image with a negative perception of health status (PR=1.13; p=0.000), overweight/ obesity (PR=1.11; p=0.001) and inadequate consumption of soft drinks (PR=1.09; p=0.040). Therefore, this study indicates a high prevalence of dissatisfaction with body image among adolescents and an association of this outcome with a negative perception of health status, overweight/obesity and inadequate consumption of soft drinks.
