TI  - Relationship of Overweight and Obesity with Body Self-Image Dissatisfaction in 
      Urban Mediterranean Adolescents.

AB  - The aim of this study was to analyze whether weight status has a relationship 
      with the prevalence of body self-image dissatisfaction in Mediterranean urban 
      teenagers. A series of 809 adolescents aged 11 to 17 years underwent 
      anthropometric measurements according to ISAK protocols and completed the Body 
      Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). The overall overweight prevalence according to 
      International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) criteria was 11.5%, and 2.7% for obesity. 
      Girls showed higher overweight prevalence than boys (18.4% vs. 12.9%; p < 0.05). 
      At the late adolescence period (16-17 y), obesity was observed in the boys but 
      not in the girls (8.7% vs. 0%; p < 0.01). There was a relative low prevalence of 
      body image (BI) dissatisfaction among participants (boys 17.3%; girls 22.7%). In 
      the late adolescence period, the girls were more often classified as being 
      dissatisfied (31%). A weak correlation between the BSQ scores and all the 
      anthropometric variables related to the adiposity profile was detected only in 
      the boys. A logistic regression confirmed that female adolescents and the late 
      pubertal period had a significant association with body dissatisfaction, 
      regardless of their weight status. As BI are not related to weight status 
      measured by body mass index (BMI) percentiles, other factors beyond anthropometry 
      deserve further research to explain BI concerns specifically in girls.
