Abstract | The study aimed to assess the association between body image perception and
(dis)satisfaction and sociodemographic and behavioral factors in the elderly, using multinomial
logistic regression. Data were analyzed for 1686 women and 1499 men participating in the Brazilian
Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). Men with less schooling and women with lower
per capita income showed higher odds of underestimating their body size. Former smokers of both
sexes showed higher odds of overestimating their body size; lower schooling and lower per capita
income decreased these odds. Increasing age, lower per capita income, and smoking increased the
odds of dissatisfaction due to thinness in men, and married marital status decreased these odds.
In women, low per capita income, weekly consumption of vegetables, and smoking increased the
odds of such dissatisfaction. Factors that increased the odds of dissatisfaction due to excess weight in
both sexes were primary or secondary schooling and former smoking. In women, low per capita
income, weak physical activity, weekly consumption of vegetables, and excessive alcohol intake also
increased the odds of such dissatisfaction. The results suggest that improved living conditions and
the adoption of healthy behaviors can help reduce misperceived negative body image among elderly. | pt_BR |
