Body Dissatisfaction and Its Association with Health-Related Factors in Rural and Urban Mexican Adolescents from the State of Jalisco
Background: To better understand Mexican adolescent’s body self-perception, this study aimed to analyze their body dissatisfaction (BD) levels according to sex and place of residence.

Methods: Cross-sectional, observational study carried out in Jalisco (Mexico) in which 451 adolescents (43.68% males, 43.90% rural) aged 13–17 years were evaluated. BD and self-perceived PF and PA were assessed with validated questionnaires, while objectively measured PF (strength, explosive strength, speed-agility, and cardiovascular fitness) was assessed using field tests. To evaluate BC, anthropometric measures and bioelectric impedance analysis were carried out. Regression analysis was used to ascertain the associations between health-related factors and body dissatisfaction. Results: Girls obtained higher scores on the BD questionnaire than boys (11.12 ± 3.13 vs. 10.33 ± 2.73; <i>p</i> < 0.05), whereas no geographical differences between rural and urban adolescents were found. BD was positively associated with higher fat mass (β = 0.15; <i>p</i> < 0.001), and negatively associated with muscle mass and PF (β = −0.24 and β = −0.23; <i>p</i> < 0.001). However, PA was not associated with any of the measured parameters. Conclusions: selected parameters of BC, PF, and sex have an impact on the Mexican adolescent’s body satisfaction levels and should be considered when designing future health policies.María Rivera-OchoaMarta Arroyo-BelloAsier MañasCarlos Quesada-GonzálezBarbara Vizmanos-LamotteMarcela González-GrossAmelia Guadalupe-GrauMDPI AGarticlebody dissatisfactionadolescentsbody compositionphysical fitnessphysical activityMexicoMedicineRENInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Vol 18, Iss 12215, p 12215 (2021) |
