“…Further research is necessary to compare body image across different cultures and countries.The complex interrelations between healthy behaviors, health status, and body image are of great interest in order to develop and monitor the effectiveness of health behavior interventions. For instance, it is recognized that nutrition behavior may be associated with body image perception [8][9][10]. Likewise, physical activity (PA) is an affirmative element in self-perception, where regular PA could have a positive body image influence [11,12]; and conversely, the extent of body image concern may motivate adherence to PA [13].…”

Little is known about the relationships between weight satisfaction, body image concern, healthy nutrition, health awareness, and physical activity among college students across culturally different countries. We assessed country and sex-specific associations between health status (self-rated health, depression, BMI), healthy behavior (healthy nutrition, physical activity, health awareness), weight satisfaction, and body image concern via a cross-sectional survey (5888 undergraduates) in Egypt, Palestine, and Finland. This health and wellbeing survey employed identical self-administered paper questionnaires administered at several Universities in two Eastern Mediterranean countries (Egypt, Palestine-Gaza Strip), and an online-survey comprising the same questions in Finland. Regression analyses were employed. Health status variables exhibited the strongest associations; high BMI and more depressive symptoms were more often among students satisfied with their weight (except in Palestine), but they were positively associated with body image concern irrespective of country or gender. Self-rated health was not associated with body image concern or weight satisfaction. Healthy behaviors were not associated with body image concern or weight satisfaction. Depressive symptoms and BMI were the most prominent predictors for body image concern. There were country-specific consistent results when using the body image concern score. Further research is necessary to compare body image across different cultures and countries.The complex interrelations between healthy behaviors, health status, and body image are of great interest in order to develop and monitor the effectiveness of health behavior interventions. For instance, it is recognized that nutrition behavior may be associated with body image perception [8][9][10]. Likewise, physical activity (PA) is an affirmative element in self-perception, where regular PA could have a positive body image influence [11,12]; and conversely, the extent of body image concern may motivate adherence to PA [13]. Nevertheless, extensive exercise might have negative influence: it has been associated with body dissatisfaction specifically amongst women with eating pathology [14,15]; PA often resulted in increased focus and awareness concerning weight and shape [16], and perceived sociocultural pressure and body dissatisfaction are linked with a persuasive need to exercise [17]. As for self-rated health, poor self-rated health was positively associated with body dissatisfaction and negatively associated with exercise [18,19]. Additional Important VariablesAmong young adults, a range of other potential variables play a role in body image perception, for example, gender, religiosity, economic features, and cultural aspects. For example, body image perception and its correlates are designed and constructed differently between genders [20], where males favor muscular bodies, women desire to be lean or thin, exhibiting greater dissatisfaction when they perceive their body as bigger than desired [21]. ...

BackgroundPersonality has been recognized as a key variable in the prediction of treatment adherence and health care behaviors in patients living with chronic diseases.PurposeIn order to contribute to the prediction of treatment-adherence behaviors among HIV-positive patients, this study aimed to test the metric properties of the 12-item Stress-Related Situations Scale (SRSS-12), which assesses four interactive styles of personality related to stressful situations when receiving treatment for a chronic disease.Patients and methodsThis cross-sectional study was performed with a nonprobability sampling between May and June 2016. The SRSS-12 was fulfilled by 186 out of 400 HIV-positive patients receiving attention through the regional program for HIV -sexually transmitted diseases control in the State of Lara, Venezuela (sample proportion =0.465). The participants were young adults (X=34.9 years), predominantly men (80.1%), and single (76.3%). Data analysis included exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, assessment of internal consistency, and description of distributions.ResultsThe exploratory factor analysis yielded a three-factor structure: Tolerance to Frustration and Ambiguity, Follow-up of Instructions and Impulsivity, and Decision Making. Through confirmatory factor analysis, this model showed an acceptable fit to the data. The three factors showed convergent and discriminant validity and internal consistency from acceptable to high. The factor scores did not follow a normal distribution.ConclusionsThe three-factor model for the SRSS-12 showed validity and internal consistency among Venezuelan HIV-positive patients. Scaled scores for factors can be developed using percentile scores.

Body dissatisfaction is commonly associated with rhythmic gymnastics (RG) practice, but limited research exists on the prevalence of this issue among recreational level practitioners. This study examines body image dissatisfaction among young girls practicing RG recreationally. A total of 88 girls between six and eleven years of age, who participate in RG as an extracurricular activity, were measured and completed the Stunkard pictogram. To create a control group, 88 girls who did not practice RG were also recruited and matched to the gymnasts by age. Results revealed that the mean body mass index values in both groups were within the normal weight range. The mean score for body dissatisfaction was similar between the two groups, with slightly positive values (RG = 0.94; CG = 1.06). The Mann–Whitney U test showed that there was no significant difference in the ratings of actual body size, ideal body size, and body dissatisfaction between the RG and control groups. These findings suggest that practicing RG at a young age is not associated with body dissatisfaction among girls.
