Objective: Parental body image dissatisfaction (BID) is associated with children's weight in cross-sectional studies; however, it is unknown whether BID predicts development of adiposity. The objective of the present study was to investigate the associations between maternal dissatisfaction with her or her child's body and children's BMI trajectories. Design: Longitudinal study. Maternal dissatisfaction (BID) with her and her child's body was calculated based on ratings of Stunkard scales obtained at recruitment, as current minus desired body image. Children's height and weight were measured at baseline and annually for a median of 2·5 years. Mixed-effects models with restricted cubic splines were used to construct sex-and weight-specific BMIfor-age curves according to maternal BID levels. Setting: Public primary schools in Bogotá, Colombia. Subjects: Children (n 1523) aged 5-12 years and their mothers. Results: After multivariable adjustment, heavy boys and thin girls whose mothers desired a thinner child gained an estimated 1·7 kg/m 2 more BMI (P = 0·04) and 2·4 kg/m 2 less BMI (P = 0·004), respectively, between the age 6 and 14 years, than children of mothers without BID. Normal-weight boys whose mothers desired a thinner child's body gained an estimated 1·8 kg/m 2 less BMI than normal-weight boys of mothers without BID (P = 0·02). Maternal BID with herself was positively related to children's BMI gain during follow-up. Conclusions: Maternal BID is associated with child's BMI trajectories in a sex-and weight-specific manner.

“…Indeed, an intervention directed only at mothers resulted in mothers exerting less pressure toward their daughters to be thin and their daughters showing less of a wish to be thinner (Corning, Gondoli, Bucchianeri, & Salafia, 2010). This approach could be particularly useful when the daughter and/or father are reluctant to participate in prevention or intervention programs.…”

Abstract:The associations between parent-daughter relationship characteristics and disordered eating behaviors among emerging adult women from the Czech Republic were examined. Participants (N = 798 women, M = 22.25 years old, SD = 1.42) reported on disordered eating behaviors (dieting and unhealthy weight-control behaviors; UWCB), their relationship characteristics with each parent (trust, communication, alienation and psychological control) and covariates (weight, height, frequency of communication with parents, living status and parental statuses). Overall, 41% of women were on a diet, and 33% engaged in at least one UWCB. Logistic regression analyses revealed that none of the parent-daughter relationship characteristics had any association with dieting. However, a low quality of mother-daughter relationship (low trust, high alienation and psychological control) had a significant association with UWCB. None of the fatherdaughter relationship characteristics had a significant association with UWCB. The results suggest that preventive interventions with the family should emphasize the quality of the motherdaughter relationship.

“…Several instruments are available to measure body image, concerns about body shape and body satisfaction. The most widely used are: the Body Attitude Questionnaire (BAQ) [87] , the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) [88] , the Physical Self-Perception Profile (PSPP) [89] , the Body Cathexis Questionnaire [90] , the Body Satisfaction Scale (BSS) [91] and the Body Parts Dissatisfaction Scale (BPDS) (Corning et al, 2010) [92] . The BAQ explores a broad range of attitudes that subjects hold toward their body; its subscales encompass six distinct aspects of body experience.…”

Obesity is a multifactorial disease and the prominent factors playing a role in its pathogenesis are biological, environmental and psychological. There is a growing interest in understanding psychological functioning of obese subjects and the influence of psychological factors on treatment outcome. The aim of the present narrative review is to critically analyze the current literature, in order to point out the most common psychological constructs studied in obesity and to give an overview of the main existing tools investigating psychological features which have been considered significant for the prediction of success in weight loss and maintenance programs in obese patients. In this framework, the most common psychological constructs studied are: self-motivation, self-efficacy, locus of control, health related quality of life, self-esteem, self-control, concerns about body image, outcome expectations, and personality traits. These features have been explored through a wide variety of psychometric instruments. However, as an overall, studies evaluating the association between psychological features and treatment outcome failed to give consistent results. A possible explanation may consist on the fact that many tools widely used to explore psychological features were not specifically designed for obese patients and none of them was comprehensive of all possible psychological features involved. The identification of well-defined subgroups of patients and the validation of more reliable and comprehensive tools, specifically designed for obese subjects, should be forecasted in order to reach a better knowledge of psychological functioning of obese individuals and to improve the outcome of weight loss programs.
