Abstract

Background: Inappropriate BODY IMAGE in ADOLESCENTs may lead to hazardous activities such as incorrect. dieting and inadequate calorie intake. Varity of factors are involved in forming inappropriate BODY IMAGE. The present study was performed to evaluate the BODY IMAGE of ADOLESCENT girls and boys in Tehran and determine its association with dietary pattern, physical status, and body weight.Materials and methods: The study population included 894 high school students aged 14-18 years old (15.96±0.98). Socio-economic status, BODY IMAGE, dietary frequency, and physical activity of subjects were asked by self-recorded questionnaire. Weight and height were determined and BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) was calculated. Logistic regression was used for data analysis. Results: Based on BMI, 14 and 13.6% of girls and boys were overweight and 12 and 26% were underweight. Untrue BODY IMAGE was more commonly reported in ADOLESCENTs with appropriate weight, for instance, among girls of this group, 21 % considered themselves as overweight and 22% as underweight. These values were 10 and 23% for boys, respectively (p<0.001). Of studied variables, female sex (OR=1.52), underweight (OR=5.44), overweight (OR=11.96), lack of regular physical activity (OR= 1.49), and previous history of dieting (OR=2.73) were predictive factors of untrue BODY IMAGE.Conclusion: Inappropriate BODY IMAGE is a common problem in ADOLESCENTs. This could influence on their dietary behavior. BODY IMAGE-related factors should be kept in mind when educational strategies of this age group are drawn.
