Resumo: Objective: To investigate the prevalence of body image (BI) dissatisfaction in female adolescents and its association with age range, nutritional status and physical activity practice. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 393 female adolescents (aged 14-18 years) studying in military schools of the city of Fortaleza, Ceará, in the period from August to November 2015. The figure rating scale by Stunkard was used for BI assessment. The nutritional status was evaluated according to the Body Mass Index (BMI) (BMI = weight/height2) and the practice of physical activity (yes or no) was self-reported. Descriptive analysis was initially conducted, in absolute (n) and relative (%) values, followed by the chi-square test, adopting p≤0.05. Results: A majority of the adolescents were 16-17 years old (52.7%, n=207), practiced physical activity (62.6%, n=246), adequate weight (63.4%, n=249) and were dissatisfied with their BI (65.4%, n=257). Age range and physical activity were associated with BI (p=0.04 and p=0.02, respectively). There was no association between nutritional status and BI in this sample. Conclusion: The results indicate a high prevalence of body image dissatisfaction, regardless of age group and physical activity practice.

Métodos: Estudio transversal realizado con 393 adolescentes del sexo femenino (entre los 14 y 18 años) de las escuelas militares de la ciudad de Fortaleza, Ceará, en el período entre agosto y noviembre de 2015. Se utilizó la escala de siluetas de Stunkard para la evaluación del IC. El estado nutricional fue evaluado a través del Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) (IMC= peso/altura²) y la práctica de actividad física (sí o no) fue auto relatada. A principio se realizó un análisis descriptivo en valores absolutos (n) y relativos (%) y en seguida se utilizó la prueba de Chi-cuadrado con el p≤0,05. Resultados: La mayoría tenía entre los 16-17 años de edad (52,7%, n=207), practicaba actividad física (62,6%, n=246), tenía el peso adecuado (63,4%, n=249) y estaba insatisfecha con el IC (65,4%, n=257). La franja de edad y la práctica de actividad física se asociaron al IC (p=0,04 e p=0,02 respectivamente). No se ha constatado asociación entre el estado nutricional y la IC de la muestra. Conclusión: Los resultados indican una elevada prevalencia de insatisfacción con la imagen corporal independiente de la franja de edad y de la práctica de actividad física.Objetivo: Investigar a prevalência de insatisfação com a imagem corporal (IC) em adolescentes do sexo feminino e sua associação com faixa etária, estado nutricional e prática de atividade física. Métodos: Estudo transversal, realizado com 393 adolescentes do sexo feminino (entre 14 e 18 anos) das escolas militares da cidade de Fortaleza, Ceará, no período de agosto a novembro de 2015. Utilizou-se a escala de silhuetas de Stunkard para a avaliação da IC. O estado nutricional foi avaliado segundo o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) (IMC= peso/estatura²) e a prática de atividade física (sim ou não) foi autorrelatada. Inicialmente, recorreu-se à análise descritiva em valores absolutos (n) e relativos (%), em seguida empregou-se o teste do Qui-quadrado, adotando-se p≤0,05. Resultados: A maioria tinha entre 16-17 anos de idade (52,7%, n=207), praticava atividade física (62,6%, n=246), apresentava peso adequado (63,4%, n=249) e estava insatisfeita com a IC (65,4%, n=257). A faixa etária e a prática de atividade física estavam associadas à IC (p=0,04 e p=0,02 respectivamente). Não se constatou associação do estado nutricional com a IC nessa amostra. Conclusão: Os resultados indicam uma elevada prevalência de insatisfação com a imagem corporal, independente da faixa etária e da prática de atividade física.Universidade de Fortaleza2017-12-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Peer-reviewed Article""Avaliado pelos pares""Avaliado pelos pares"application/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/608210.5020/18061230.2017.6082Brazilian Journal in Health Promotion; Vol. 30 No. 4 (2017)Revista Brasileña en Promoción de la Salud; Vol. 30 Núm. 4 (2017)Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde; v. 30 n. 4 (2017)1806-1230reponame:Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúdeinstname:Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)instacron:UFORporenghttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/6082/pdfhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/6082/pdf_1Copyright (c) 2017 Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúdeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRocha Alves, Felipede Lima Bezerra, Francisca ÉricaAvelino de Souza, EvaniceAlves Teixeira, Francisco Alex2022-02-16T12:37:57Zoai:ojs.ojs.unifor.br:article/6082Revistahttps://periodicos.unifor.br/RBPS/oai1806-12301806-1222opendoar:2022-02-16T12:37:57Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde - Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)false
