Artigo Científico Acesso embargado Associação entre autoimagem e índice de massa corporal de adolescentes(2019) Pedroso, Talita FigueiredoBody image is a multidimensional concept that reveals the subject's perception of his body influenced by social constructs such as the behavioral representations of personality and emotional states. The objective of the study was to verify the association between self-image and the Body Mass Index (BMI) of adolescents. The sample was composed of 116 adolescents, of both sexes, with mean age of 13,4±0,89, from the city of Tubarão - SC. It is an epidemiological study with a cross-sectional design. For the data collection, a questionnaire with sociodemographic data was applied, as well as the application of the silhouettes scale proposed by Tiggemann and Wilson-Barret (1998) and collection of anthropometric measurements, such as height and body mass to obtain BMI. The chi-square test was used to verify association between the variables. Through this study, 64% of adolescents were dissatisfied with self-image, 19,8% were overweight and 59% did not practice physical exercises. We found an association between dissatisfaction with self-image and overweight.
