    Author: Fortes Lde S, Cipriani FM, Coelho FD, Paes ST, Ferreira ME.
    Journal: Rev Paul Pediatr; 2014 Sep; 32(3):236-40. PubMed ID: 25479855.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE:: To evaluate the influence of self-esteem on levels of body dissatisfaction among adolescent females. METHODS:: A group of 397 adolescents aged 12 to 17 years were enrolled in the study. The Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) was applied to assess body dissatisfaction. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale was used to assess self-esteem. Weight, height, and skinfold thickness were also measured. These anthropometric data were controlled in the statistical analyses. RESULTS:: The multiple regression model indicated influence of "positive self-esteem" (R2=0.16; p=0.001) and "negative self-esteem" (R2=0.23; p=0.001) subscales on the BSQ scores. Univariate analysis of covariance demonstrated differences in BSQ scores (p=0.001) according to groups of self-esteem. CONCLUSION:: It was concluded that self-esteem influenced body dissatisfaction in adolescent girls from Juiz de Fora, MG.
