Resumo: The aim of the study was to verify the influence of pressure from sociocultural agents on dissatisfaction with face and body in young women mediated by the internalization of the lean and muscular body and to identify the contribution of individual characteristics to this model. A total of 612 university female students participated of study. The students completed the Portuguese versions of the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-4 and of the Body Area Scale-Revised and a sociodemographic questionnaire. A hypothetical model was constructed using structural equation modeling to test the relationship between the variables. The model fit and the significance of the hypothetical paths were verified. The results provide evidence that the greater the pressure of sociocultural agents and the internalization of the lean body, the more women were dissatisfied with body and face appearance. The media contributed to a greater internalization of the muscular body, which reduced the body dissatisfaction. The practice of physical activity and a higher economic level contributed to a greater internalization of the muscular body, which reduced body dissatisfaction. A higher economic level also influenced the internalization of the lean body and increased the dissatisfaction with face and body. A higher body mass index contributed to a greater pressure from sociocultural agents, greater internalization of the lean body, and greater dissatisfaction with body and face. The relationships identified in the model can contribute to the development of strategies aimed at reducing body dissatisfaction and eating disorders in the population, such as body acceptance.

Un total de 612 mujeres universitarias participaron en el estudio. Las estudiantes completaron las versiones en portugués Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-4 y del Body Area Scale-Revised y un cuestionario sociodemográfico. El modelo hipotético fue construido usando un modelado de ecuación estructural para probar la relación entre las variables. Se verificaron tanto el modelo ajustado, como la significancia de los recorridos hipotéticos. Los resultados proporcionan evidencias que cuanto mayor es la presión de los agentes socioculturales y la internalización de un cuerpo esbelto, mayor es la insatisfacción de las mujeres con la apariencia de su cuerpo y rostro. La media contribuyó a una mayor internalización del cuerpo musculoso, que redujo la insatisfacción con el cuerpo. La práctica de actividad física y un nivel económico más alto contribuyeron a una internalización más grande de un cuerpo musculoso, lo que redujo la insatisfacción con el cuerpo. Un nivel económico más alto también influenció en la internalización de un cuerpo esbelto e incrementó la insatisfacción con la cara y el cuerpo. Un mayor índice de masa corporal contribuyó a una mayor presión de los agentes socioculturales, y una mayor internalización de un cuerpo esbelto, así como una mayor insatisfacción con el cuerpo y la cara. Las relaciones identificadas en el modelo pueden contribuir al desarrollo de estrategias, con el objetivo de reducir la insatisfacción corporal y los desórdenes alimenticios en la población, tales como la aceptación corporal.O objetivo do estudo foi verificar a influência da pressão de agentes socioculturais na insatisfação com o rosto e o corpo em mulheres jovens mediada pela internalização do corpo magro e musculoso e identificar a contribuição das características individuais para esse modelo. Um total de 612 estudantes universitárias participaram do estudo. As alunas responderam às versões em português do Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-4 e da Body Area Scale-Revised e um questionário sociodemográfico. Um modelo hipotético foi construído usando modelagem de equações estruturais para testar a relação entre as variáveis. O ajuste do modelo e a significância dos caminhos hipotéticos foram verificados. Os resultados fornecem evidências de que quanto maior a pressão dos agentes socioculturais e a internalização do corpo magro, mais as mulheres ficam insatisfeitas com a aparência corporal e facial. A mídia contribuiu para uma maior internalização do corpo muscular, o que diminuiu a insatisfação corporal. A prática de atividade física e um maior nível econômico contribuíram para uma maior internalização da musculatura corporal, o que reduziu a insatisfação corporal. Um nível econômico mais elevado também influenciou na internalização do corpo magro e aumentou a insatisfação com o rosto e o corpo. O maior índice de massa corporal contribuiu para uma maior pressão dos agentes socioculturais, maior internalização do corpo magro e maior insatisfação com o corpo e a face. As relações identificadas no modelo podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento de estratégias que visem reduzir a insatisfação corporal e os transtornos alimentares na população, como a aceitação corporal.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2020-12-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/7393Reports in Public Health; Vol. 36 No. 11 (2020): NovemberCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 36 n. 11 (2020): Novembro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/7393/16322https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/7393/16323Wanderson Roberto da SilvaJúlia Valério BarraAngela Nogueira NevesJoão MarôcoJuliana Alvares Duarte Bonini Camposinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:29:54Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/7393Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:08:29.611888Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
