“…Most girls wanted to lose weight, whereas boys were more likely to desire weight gain. These results are consistent with those reported in other studies, which show that, regardless of nutritional status, women generally seek a slimmer figure (23) whereas men want stronger bodies (16,22) . According to Kostanski et al, the issue of body image dissatisfaction affects both genders, but not in the same manner; therefore, prevention and mitigation strategies should target each gender independently (24) .…”

Body satisfaction and associated factors among high school students ABstrActObjective: To analyze body satisfaction among students and its possible associations with nutritional status, sociodemographic factors, life style and health perception.Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled students aged 15 to 20 years of public schools from the city of Caruaru, Northeast Brazil. Anthropometric, socio-demographic, life style and health perception, sleep, stress and body image variables were evaluated. The body mass index for gender and age was used to diagnose underweight, and overweight according to Conde and Monteiro (2006). Binary logistic regression was applied with the occurrence of "dissatisfaction with thinness" and "dissatisfaction with excess weight" as outcomes.Results: 594 students (62% females) aged 17.5±1.6 years old were studied. A proportion of 38.7% (95%CI 34.8-42.7) were satisfied with their body weight, while 31.3% (95%CI 27.6-35.2) would like to increase it and 30.0% (95%CI 26.3-33.8) would like to reduce it. The students who were satisfied with their weight ate at least five servings of vegetables/day, three or more meals/day, and they had a positive perception of sleep. Males and individuals with low weight expressed the desire to increase their body weight, while females, students who have less than three meals/day, students with higher income, and those with overweight would like to reduce their weight. Among the males who would like to increase their body weight 13.5% had overweight and 18.8% of the females who desired to reduce their weight were underweight. Conclusions:Preventive measures that include the discussion about body culture and health damage risks are needed. These measures should target genders' specificities.Key-Words: body image; adolescent; nutritional status.resumo Objetivo: Investigar a satisfação corporal em estudantes e possíveis associações ao estado nutricional, fatores sociodemográficos, estilo de vida e percepção de saúde.Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado com estudantes de 15 a 20 anos de idade de escolas públicas do município de Caruaru (PE).

-A high prevalence of body image dissatisfaction has been observed among adolescents over the last decades. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between body image dissatisfaction and demographic factors in adolescents. The sample consisted of 405 boys and girls (247 from an urban area and 158 from a rural area) aged 14 to 17 years enrolled in public schools of a small-sized municipality. The demographic variables analyzed were gender (male, female), age (14-15 years, 16-17 years), and area of residence (urban, rural). The perception of body image was evaluated using a figure rating scale. The prevalence of body image dissatisfaction was 56.5%. Both girls (26.5%) and boys (39.5%) wished to have a larger body silhouette. An association was observed between body image dissatisfaction and gender, with boys showing a 1.24 times higher chance (95%CI: 1.05-1.47) of body image dissatisfaction than girls. The prevalence of body image dissatisfaction is high even among adolescents from small-sized municipalities. Body image dissatisfaction is more prevalent among boys. Healthcare workers and teachers should be aware of the importance to encourage youngster to better understand themselves and their body and to reflect about current body images. Key words: Body image; Adolescents; Health; Social conditions.
