Differences in the body image based on physical parameters among young women from the Czech Republic and Slovakia

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Background: The increased prevalence of overweight and obesity in the Czech Republic and Slovakia has led toheightened emphasis on weight control, particularly among women. Our aim is to explore body image perceptions among women in both countries and compare their attitudes, focusing on the relationship between bodyimage and body mass index (BMI), height, weight, body fat and the weight control. Methods: The cross-sectionalstudy involved 358 female students, with equal representation from the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Body parameters were assessed usinganthropometric methods and the InBody 230 diagnostic device, while participants’ perceptions of their bodieswere evaluated using the Body Shape Questionnaire. Results: The results confirmed that BMI did not significantlyinfluence self-perception among Slovak students, while Czech participants with increasing obesity tended toperceive themselves more negatively. Significantly higher median values for BMI (p ¼ 0.0509), weight(p ¼ 0.0507), height (p ¼ 0.05) and body image (p ¼ 0.002) were observed in the Czech Republic compared withSlovakia. No significant difference was found in weight control and fat between participants from both countries. Conclusions: Although obesity was demonstrated in both nations, body satisfaction was different forparticipants from the Czech Republic and Slovakia
