“…Moreover, although the relationship between self-surveillance and body shame emerged for men as it has in other research (McKinley, 2011; Tiggemann & Kuring, 2004); nonetheless, the relationships of these variables to self-rated health may be too weak to detect in such a small sample, and future research should test this model using larger samples. Moreover, future research should test whether this model also explains the gender difference in self-rated health found in younger adolescents (Jerdén et al, 2011; Yoo & Jang, 2023) and middle-aged to older adults (McCullough, & Laurenceau, 2004; Rani et al, 2022).…”

“…That is, while their lives may be longer, women may be more likely to experience poorer health during them. This gender difference in self-rated health has been identified in adolescence and young adulthood (Chen & Lucock, 2022;Jerdén et al, 2011;Vaez & Laflamme, 2003;Yoo & Jang, 2023) and has been shown to persist into late middle age (McCullough & Laurenceau, 2004;Rani et al, 2022). It has been identified across many countries, races, and ethnicities (Cummings & Braboy Jackson, 2008;Oksuzyan et al, 2009;Tabler & Painter, 2023).…”

Although women outlive men, women report poorer self-rated physical health over much of the lifespan. Objectification theory may offer insight into this gender difference. Objectifying culture promotes self-surveillance, which encourages prioritizing the body’s appearance over its physical functioning and well-being. As women may engage in self-surveillance more so than men, this sequence of events may help explain this gender difference in self-rated health. However, the few studies examining this idea show an inconsistent relationship between self-surveillance and self-rated health. Nonetheless, self-surveillance may promote body shame and diminished awareness of internal bodily states. As these factors are associated with poor self-rated health, self-surveillance may predict poor self-rated health via these mechanisms. In study 1 ( N = 166 undergraduate women), self-surveillance was unrelated to self-rated health. However, body shame and low interoceptive awareness mediated this relationship. In study 2 ( N = 347 undergraduate women and men), self-surveillance correlated negatively with self-rated health for female participants but not male participants. Female participants reported poorer self-rated health, and this effect was serially mediated by self-surveillance, body shame, and low body responsiveness. These studies suggest a potential avenue by which self-surveillance may explain the gender difference in self-rated health in college samples, providing an important basis for future longitudinal investigations in more diverse samples. Moreover, these results suggest that interventions targeting body shame and low internal awareness may be used to promote good self-rated health as well as to prevent disease and poor health behaviors related to self-rated health.

“…The fact that general health and life satisfaction stayed unchanged probably also depended on the adolescents perceiving their household nancial situation to be the same as before. Financial decline related to the pandemic has in previous studies been shown to have negative impacts on physical and mental health in adolescents [54,55], whereof several demonstrate that girls' mental health was more adversely affected than boys' in more vulnerable socioeconomic situations during the pandemic [56,57].…”

Purpose Using data on Norwegian adolescents, this study aimed to explore changes in mental health, quality of life, somatic health complaints and loneliness into the COVID-19 pandemic, also considering the changes according to socioeconomic position (SEP). Methods The study involved a cross-sectional comparative design with data from Young-HUNT4 (2017–2019) (n = 4347) and Young-HUNT COVID (May/June 2021) (n = 2033), aged 16–19 years. Additionally, longitudinal changes from Young-HUNT4 (n = 1565), aged 13–15 years, with follow-up in Young-HUNT COVID were explored. The impact of SEP was investigated through regression analyses and investigating prevalence changes in high and low SEP groups. Results In the cross-sectional comparison, boys and girls reported higher levels of loneliness and mental distress (boys only) into the pandemic compared to before, while general health and quality of life remained stable. Longitudinally, all factors changed adversely except for general health in boys. Comparing younger (13–15 years) with older (16–19 years) adolescents from Young-HUNT4, demonstrated the same adverse pattern as in the longitudinal sample. Poor health, poor quality of life and loneliness were more prevalent in the low compared to the high SEP group. In the low SEP group, mental distress, poor general health and life quality worsened in boys while improved in girls during the study period. Conclusion Except for mental distress in boys, general health and life quality did not deteriorate in the study period, although loneliness increased in both sexes. In the low SEP group, girls seemed to cope better than boys where health and well-being even improved.
