ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES:

To investigate the relationship between weight gain and body image perception in in middle-aged women.

METHODS:

Cross-sectional study with 453 women. Body image was assessed using the Stunkard scale, in which women were classified as satisfied or dissatisfied (general, thinness or obesity). The identification of possible factors associated with body image dissatisfaction was performed using binary logistic regression analysis.

RESULTS:

The mean age was 55.7 (±9.6) years; 80.8% were classified as dissatisfied with body image. As for body composition, women satisfied with their body image had lower values of body fat and higher values of lean mass. In the logistic regression, for general dissatisfaction and obesity, the associated variables were BMI, education and physical activity. As for "dissatisfaction with thinness", only BMI was associated.

CONCLUSION:

Thus, the prevalence of body image dissatisfaction is high in women and part of associated factors are linked to lifestyle behaviors.
