“…Eighty to 110 is mild concern, 111 to 140 is moderate concern, and over 140 is severe concern with shape. The BSQ has high internal consistency and reliability at .97 and .88, respectively (Rosen, Jones, Ramirez, & Waxman, 1996) and has been used in the adolescent population (Gleason, Alexander, & Somers, 2000;Rodríguez-Cano, Beato-Fernández, & Llario, 2006).…”

“…The Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) (30) is a 34-item measure of preoccupation with, and distress about, one's body shape. The BSQ has demonstrated good concurrent and discriminant validity, in addition to good reliability (30,31). The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) (32) is a widely used 21-item measure of depressive symptoms and is a useful marker for broad psychosocial distress and psychopathology (33).…”

Objective-Despite increasing use of the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q) in bariatric surgery patients, little is known about the utility and psychometric performance of this self-report measure in this clinical group. The primary purpose of the current study was to evaluate the factor structure and construct validity of the EDE-Q in a large series of bariatric surgery candidates.Methods and Procedures-Participants were 337 obese bariatric surgery candidates. Participants completed the EDE-Q and a battery of behavioral and psychological measures.Results-Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) produced a 12-item, 4-factor structure of the EDE-Q. The four factors, interpreted as Dietary Restraint, Eating Disturbance, Appearance Concerns, and Shape/Weight Overvaluation, were found to be internally consistent and converged with other relevant measures of psychopathology.Discussion-Factor analysis of the EDE-Q in bariatric surgery candidates did not replicate the original subscales but revealed an alternative factor structure. Future research must further evaluate the psychometric properties, including the factor structure, of the EDE-Q in this and other diverse populations and consider means of improving this measure's ability to best assess eatingrelated pathology in bariatric surgery patients.

“…Interviewers were trained dietitians, who assessed sociodemographic characteristics, body image satisfaction (a single question, answered in a numbered scale ranging from 1-Unsatisfied to 4-Very satisfied), and body image questions, supported by the Body Shape Questionnaire, a validated contour drawing scale in which the subjects selected a picture they believed represented their current body image and their ideal body image [8,9]. This contour drawing scale comprises a set of nine contour drawings for each gender, showing escalating measures from leaner to wider body.…”

Introduction: A significant number of individuals are dissatisfied with their body size and weight, and wish to be thinner. Some of the physical changes associated with aging do not inevitably lead to greater body dissatisfaction but there is evidence suggesting that the importance and concerns attached to appearance and body image may be similar in all ages. This study aimed at analysing body image perceptions, body image satisfaction, and body mass index in older adults.
