RESUMO

Abstract AIMS This study aimed at investigating the socio-demographic and health-related variables associated with body image dissatisfaction. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study. 894 (34.04±13.62 years old) weight training practitioners from a medium-large city in the south of Brazil participated in this study. A socio-demographic questionnaire was used along with the Body Shape Questionnaire. The Chi-squared Test and the Binary Logistic Regression (p<0.05) were used to analyze the data. RESULTS Female subjects who have been practicing weight training for two to five years are more likely to be dissatisfied with their bodies (OR=4.305 [95% CI=2.984-6.213; OR=1.773 [95% CI=1.086-2.895], p<0,05, respectively). CONCLUSION There is one group of individuals who are less likely to experience body weight satisfaction. This group of people has three characteristics: 1, 2, and 3.
