ABSTRACT

La percepción del cuerpo y la satisfacción con el mismo se asocian con conductas saludables y de riesgo de manejo del cuerpo con importantes consecuencias para la salud. En este estudio se exploran las conductas que usan hombres y mujeres en su adultez temprana para controlar el peso, tamaño, forma y composición corporales. La imagen corporal (IC) y la satisfacción corporal (SC) se evaluaron a través de siluetas, preguntas y discrepancias, y las prácticas conductuales de control del cuerpo a través de un cuestionario. Los participantes informaron de un uso moderadamente elevado de estrategias saludables y bajo de estrategias de riesgo. ANOVAs de 2 y 3 factores indicaron que una IC más negativa y una SC menor se asocian con un mayor uso de estrategias saludables y, particularmente, de riesgo de manejo del cuerpo, y que el sexo, y no tanto la edad, modera esta relación, mostrando las mujeres mayor uso de ambos tipos de estrategias. Nuestros resultados son interesantes para el diseño de intervenciones destinadas a mejorar las percepciones corporales basadas en conductas saludables


Body perceptions and body satisfaction are associated with healthy and risk body change behaviors with important consequences for health. In this study, the behaviors that men and women in their early young adulthood and late young adulthood used to control body weight, size, shape, and composition were explored. Body image (BI) and body satisfaction (BS) were assessed through silhouettes, questions and discrepancies, and body management behavioral practices with a questionnaire. Participants reported a moderately high use of healthy strategies and low use of maladaptive strategies. Two- and three-way between-subjects ANOVAs indicated that a more negative BI and lower BS were associated with a greater use of both healthy and, particularly, risk body management strategies, and that gender, more than age, moderates this relationship, with women demonstrating a higher use of both type of bodymanagement strategies. Our results are interesting for the design of interventions aimed at improving body perceptions with a focus on healthy behaviors
