Objective: To verify the association between self-perception and parents perception, in relation to their children’s body image, with the nutritional status.
Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional quantitative study performed with adolescents from public schools from two cities, located in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. A total of 188 adolescents between the age of 10 and 19 years, both genders and their respective responsible participated in this research. The data were obtained from the Stunkard Scale of Silhouettes, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference and blood pressure. The Fisher Exact Test and the Kruskal-Wallis test were applied using the package SPSS version 13.0, considering as significant values with p≤0.05. Results: It was verified that BMI, waist circumference and the perception of the responsible were significantly associated with the adolescent body image self-perception. From the total number of adolescents, 65% (n=72) distorted their real image, referring that they were overweight, while body mass index (BMI) was within normality. It was identified as an adequate perception by the responsible in relation to their children body image. The classification variables of BMI, waist circumference and the responsible perception are significantly associated to the self-perception of body image. Conclusion: A significant number of adolescents presented distortion of their body image, because of their nutritional status, according to BMI classification, is divergent from their perception. Yet, the responsible perception presented a consistent vision with the real image regarding to their children nutritional status and blood pressure.
