“…Feelings experienced during childhood and adolescence can cause psychosocial damage until adulthood, and they may last. These periods are marked by the beginning of the construction of identities, experiments, discoveries, social affirmation, and questions related to gender, having as main reference the way in which the body appears in society and behavioral patterns to be performed by boys and girls ( 12 - 13 ) .…”

“…It is noteworthy that women had a higher percentage of negative dissatisfaction when compared to men, even though most of them had adequate weight. It was identified, in research that used the evaluation through the scale of silhouettes, that, of 125 female adolescents, 61.6% of them presented dissatisfaction with BI, which reinforces the importance of studies on this theme, since body dissatisfaction can trigger EDs, 47 and these deserve attention as psychiatric, multifactorial disorders that affect nutritional status and can result in more serious organic damage in their course 46 .…”

“…The differences in prevalence are possibly related to differences in the age groups investigated, the cultural diversity of each region, or the different assessment instruments used across the studies. Some studies provide important data about BID and its associated factors, among which we can mention gender, adolescent stage, socioeconomic conditions, local culture, being overweight, exposure to the media and social networks [26,27,28].…”

Sociocultural influences have been considered the strongest determining factors for developing a negative body image disorder and a predictor of ED due to acceptance pattern of the thin ideal by adolescents [27].

There is growing recognition of the adverse effects of body image dissatisfaction (BID) and eating disorder (ED) symptoms on adolescent health. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of ED symptoms, BID, and their relationship in adolescents from public schools in Southern Brazil. A total of 782 schoolchildren (male: n=420, female: n=362); age: 15 ± 0,4 years) answered a self-administrated questionnaire to identify sociodemographic data. Children´s Figure Rating Scale was adopted to identify body image and Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) was applied to investigate ED symptoms. Inferential statistics and hierarchical model-controlled logistic regression were used for association between variables. Most of the schoolchildren reported being satisfied with their bodies. However, we observed a higher prevalence of dissatisfaction among girls for being overweight and thinness among boys. Female students and students from schools located in the central area of the city showed higher chances of developing ED symptoms, and the absence of symptoms of ED appeared to act as a protective factor against BID in schoolchildren. Results of this study show the need to reflect on these factors that influence the development of ED and non-acceptance of their own body in a population concerned with their physical appearance.
