Objective: To identify the prevalence of body dissatisfaction and its associated problems, such as bullying, nutritional status, gender and age in rural and urban schoolchildren in a small municipality in southwestern Paraná.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 208 students aged 12 to 14 years. The Children’s Figure Rating Scale was used to evaluate body dissatisfaction. Questions about bullying and the nutritional statusof adolescents, obtained through anthropometry using the body mass index, were also evaluated. The chi-square test was applied to analyze the relationship between dissatisfaction, bullying and other variables.
Results: The results indicate that there is a considerable relationship between the feeling of inadequacy of the body and the nutritional status of the subject, as well as the insults of colleagues and feelings associated with bullying in this sample.
Conclusion: Thus, this study highlights the importance of the relationship between body dissatisfaction and bullying, as well as the potential consequences related to psychological and alimentary problems.
